Re: x10 r9000

No router works very good as a NAS.  It really would be better to buy a dedicated NAS.  Synology makes good NAS units.

And here is another one for $50 more.  But no play capability.

You would bettet put a 10gb NAS with the device!

Because of the non redundant HDD!

I agree the router works well as a NAS but ther is no redundancy on a single drive and there is a lower capacity!

So does Netgear.  The RN212 would be the Netgear equivalent.
