New NAS - What solution

[CtrlAltELITE]

Hey folks

 

So im looking to tear down my old NAS, all the components are getting rather old and I would like to donate the PC it is based on to my grandparents to replace there old intel pentium PC from the mid 00s. Anywho looking at prebuilt low power unit. All I need it to do is host files for my Nvidia Shield to transcode for plex and run a headless torrent client/deamon (currently use a deluge daemon for this). I need a 4 bay capable of raid 5 operation (already have 4 new-ish HGST Ultrastar 2tb drives).

 

However all the units I have been looking at with 4 bay R5 compatability are >£300 with high power duel or quad core x86 processors. My budget is ~£200 but I dont need much processing power. Wondering if anyone can offer any recommendations.

 

Thanks

There is a low end synology for about 250 usd that will work fine. https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DS416j

Something like this should do the trick: http://www.ebuyer.com/668560-qnap-ts-431-4-bay-desktop-nas-enclosure-ts-431

 

If I remember correctly, it comes with Download Station which will download torrents from private trackers, but haven't played with it personally.
