Does anyone know a device to physically secure the RN 316? Space restrictions force it be outside of a cabinet, but I want to prevent access to the drives. If someone carries out the entire NAS, that's a different matter. That's much more obvious. Since there is not a way to put a padlock on it, does anyone know of some kind a cable lock, container, etc. that would keep someone from accessing the drives? Thanks.

Well @netgomez, if you really mean it and don't care about look and feel you could drill some nice holes into the box and finally put cable through them.
It is just a question of where to drill and where not to drill, to not end up with a cute brick. As I never did this (and would not, I have to admit) somebody else might have some suggestions about the best locations for those holes.
Tne RN316 does have a slot for a Kensington lock, so you can secure the chassis itself.
The problem is securing the disks. There might be a way to prevent the door from opening (somehow strapping it to the main case). A small wire mesh cage would be another possibility. Neither would look very attractive, and I suspect they'd be fairly easy to remove.
I'm wondering if a more effective strategy on the disks would be to attach a door/window sensor to the NAS door, so it would alarm when opened.
I think other folks would be interested in a simple way to do this, so if you do find a good solution please post back.
