If you've been thinking or looking for an all-in-one personal cloud/storage device with a whirl of features & capabilities straight out the box then this price & device might sweet you.
I've havent used Gameseek before but at this price it seems worth the risk & hassel. These are going for £385 to £400+ on amazon & ebay. I've had my eye on the 2 bay versions which sells for at least £290 - incl delivery from all usual online stores so that why this seems like a good deal.
it's not a cracking price if they didn't sell any - it's misleading

No, but no real setup required for lazy people who can't follow some simple guides and love to waste money :P
3x the price of a microserver for a less versatile product, i know i would never reccomend one of these locked down NAS units.

the plex nas compatibility page suggests this may struggle with Hi bit rate 1080p transcoding but there are lots of user on forums saying the haven't had any probs

Got this 4 Bay one...with HGST (Hitachi) drives it's noisy.... with WD Red drives you can hardly hear it. Plex transcoding works fine. HDMi output with KODI installed also works just great :smiley:
