The 413 sounds good and I like the idea that you can create a group of disks. Formatting etc isn't an issue because I was going to buy a 16TB NAS so it would already be populated with new drives. The only niggle I have got with all of this is the capacity vs redundancy arguement. I have got 3.5TB of various hdds attached to my pc locally so when I first started out I was able to backup stuff. I have already got too much to be able to go that now and I defo can't afford to backup 12TBs of stuff. I know I can download all of it again but it would be the time it takes to do it. I could keep my current two NAS' for backup purposes but I was going to get the synology and sell my buffalo and seagate.

I really do like the look of the 413+, the only bummer is that it doesn't mention a print server as one of the features and the 412 and 414 do.
