The QNAP TS-101 is has been pretty good I've been using it for over 1 year with no problems in a biotech laboratory, currently backing up 14 desktop and instrument running PCs everyday and file sharing experiment data, pics, between PCs. Yes we have other backups. The best parts: you install your own hard drive of your choosing. We put a 500GB disk in ours. It looks good. It's easy to set up. It's small. It's fast. It's quiet. It has Gigabit network support. The software is pretty straightforward, and hasn't given me any problems. I also like that it will back up the contents of a USB thumb drive with the touch of a button. Just stick it in and hit the button labeled copy and it copies.
