D-Link's latest NAS comes with a built-in web file server and a secure FTP server to provide file access over the Internet.
The Cloud Storage 4000 can be equipped with up to fourth 3.5-inch HDDs for a total capacity of 16 TB of storage space to cover the needs of a home cloud solution. According to the manufacturer, the device can hook up to D-Link's cloud cameras and turn into a network video recorder and playback device.
It also creates a portal that can be accessed via iOS, Android, Blackberry, and Microsoft Mobile OS products. Filesharing is enabled via the integrated ShareCenter application. Two-way data syncing is supported as well.
The NAS is available for $450.

But then, if you can afford a $450 Cloud NAS plus extra hundreds for the disks, then unlimited data plan price is no longer a concern to you.

A porn connoisseur, clearly.
you sure you want the cliche answer to your question? PORN!
lol
We do A/V production (no, not THAT kind...).
Filling up 16TB is unfortunately no problem if you are shooting low compression HD.
well... lets first go with porn
than lets also go high res raw photo storage
lets also add in uncompressed files (textures and such, for useing in photos)
lets also go in with rip and encode all the movies i own, so thats 700mb to 2gb a movie right there, and a large collection... that can be high up there
games and making backup copies of all your games, in case they ever break
and lets lastly go into just video production, whether you capture from a webcam/games/or full low/uncompressed hd, that crap takes up a crap ton of space no matter what.
and all that is without going into illegal things you can do with it. which i believe you were alluding to.
My Bluray collection has been neatly backed up so I can watch it through the network on XBMC, that's a lot of storage space, this could suit me perfectly, 300 movies hovering around 6Tb already and i'm always going to kepp getting more
I would like to get it one.
Go with this, its wayyyyy lot better.

Really though, this would be really neat to have for home built DVRs and FTPs. Backups, too.
I currently have close to that, and is nowhere near enough. (for me at least)
I just don't care for the "cloud" thing.
I also reviewed D-Links ShareCenter 4000’s web literature and D-Link NEVER makes any reference to “16 TB”. In fact, the product’s Specifications page states: “4 SATA I/II/III 3.5-inch hard drive bays, supports hard drive capacities up to 3 TB”. So 4 bays x 3 TB = 12 TB
Minor grammar correction, "up to fourth" should read "up to four".
