Netgear Stora 1TB Home Media Server - 2 Bay Network: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

Comes with two hard disk slots
and one hard disk (1TB)
£119.99

I would recommend checking up some reviews if you are interested as i don't know a lot about this system (if someone finds a review or two please link)

It's too much IMO without a bit torrent client, the USB port to network share a printer is nifty though

Buffalo LinkStation Live 1TB MultiMedia Network: Amazon.co.uk: Electronics & Photo

I'd spend a little more and get that, the Stora apparently mirrors the drive anyway so any additional storage won't increase capacity

The thing i like about the Netgear one is that you can put a 2nd hard disk in
personally i don't use torrents at home, so its not biggy for me

I have a NAS with 2 HDD slots, able to RAID them together with all the features this states and more, no free 1TB HDD tho. (Galaxy Metal Gear)

From the sounds of it this is a locked down simpleton NAS, all controlled through a rather dodgy user interface if you ask me. I'd rather one that just has folders than a shinny (but useless) interface.

Each to their own but if your an experienced PC user, I'd stay clear. If you looking for a cheap and chearful "does what it says on the tin and no more' then go for this.

I'll pass

For Raid 1, says nothing about JBOD or Raid 0
