The Bottom Line	Although expensive and difficult to use for networking novices, the Synology DS209+ offers awesome throughput speed and nearly all the features you could ever need in a NAS server.	This is a very nice NAS box for small to medium-size businesses, but its setup may be problematic.	Buffalo's LinkStation is the best low-cost solution for adding storage and a print server to a home or small-business network.	The NetCenter NAS drive is a solid SOHO shared storage drive at a fair price, making it a good choice for the average user.
