Because it has a lot of great features and many people don't need more than two drives. Seems like common sense that not everyone needs more.

I agree about Amazon since currently it is $189 with free shipping and no tax. Better deal to be had there.
What I'm waiting for is a deal on the DS112....

i think its worth the $100 to step up to the regular ds212 (non-J)... the hardware encryption engine makes a huge difference

Other than storing and sharing files, why am I paying $300 for a driveless NAS. I could see if you had expansive needs, but for the simple needs, I don't see most folk making full utilization of it.

Yea I never quite understood it to be honest.
For $300 you can build a small server that would be significantly more powerful than these. I'd take FreeNAS with ZFS over this any day.

Good point. Once you get much over $200 it makes sense to build your own box. I picked up a refurb 211J for $130 through Amazon so I'm happy at that price point.

Of course a 5-disk setup is better, but you're also talking a huge jump in price. Synology's 5-bay NAS is the DS1511+ and it costs around $1,100.
They make a 4-bay, which is what I really hope to...
