Not sure why anybody would want just 2 bays for a NAS, but it's a decent price for a brand that people love.

I have the 112 NAS. I got it b/c of the improved processor and performance over the 212. I use this as a media server for my ps3 and it works very well. I prefer the built in media server over Plex.

Can't recommend this enough. Love mine (3TB and 2TB drives, no RAID because I live dangerously). Will be upgrading to the 4+ bay ones when I get the money and the need.

I go with Qnap instead if hardware encryption is not needed for home use. They have a MUCH better user friendly forum for everybody. But I use both.
