Hi, I am looking for a NAS drive but cant really find out the info I want about them. Currently I use a really old server running MS server 2000. All I use it for is backing up all my company files and the kids coursework etc over our own network.

The server is very slow and loud so I want to upgrade but dont really want the cost of a brand new server so I am thinking a good NAS drive would do the trick.

My question is I need a quality NAS drive 2 bay for a decent price that can have individual passwords for each user like I have now on ms server, I want it setup so I can open networking and see \\mainserver-office \\mainserver-dan \\mainserver-hannah etc and then have to use a password to access the data that is in the folder that is not my own.

I am looking at the netgear v2 at the moment but I'm not sure how well it will be able to do this or if it can at all.

Thanks in advanced.

Hello :)

I am currently using a Synology DS 213+ and I am more than happy with it: Link to the Synology DS 213+

Here are some of the key features:
* Very quiet
* Beautiful OS (Linux based), very easy to use
* Account manager: Very easy to use with multiple settings (bandwith, disk space, programm rights, administration rights, group management etc)
* Cloud server function: Sync files between PC's and / or phones
* Backup function: Windows, PC
* iTunes server
* Music server and player: In my opinion better an iTunes. iOS, Android and Windows Phone app available
* Video station: Movie management, IMBD support (works really great)
* Photo station: Photo mangement tool
* App store: Get more programms for it from Synology or other...

etc etc etc

I could go on for hours ;) I have this NAS for half a year now, and I've done a lot of research before I bought it - I'm more than happy with what I got. In my opinion, the biggest plus with the Synology NAS is how easy it is to use.

If you have any questions about the Synology NAS, don't hesitate to ask :)

Price - I don't know how much it costs where you live, but here in Switzerland, it was one of the cheaper ones.

any NAS device will do what your asking. it might look differently. it could be setup that "hannah" cannot even see the "office" share, if "hannah" is a seperate login/computer. NAS software is much simpler to setup than a server.
