Ok I'll check it out and post back

They are specialized PCs, and are priced accordingly.
If you are price-sensitive you can look into 2-bay units or the RN104. There is a performance dropoff with the RN100 series, especially with streaming/plex. The RN200 series and above supports real-time transcoding, which is often needed.
