Today I take a detailed look at Intel's most affordable NAS device, the SS4200-E. Intel's Product Page for the SS4200-E reports that this is a storage device aimed at the SOHO and Small Business markets, a market that we might ordinarily categorise as being from 1 computer up to about 15 or 20 computers.

These types of networks often do not have significant demands for truly fast storage - unlike larger network environments where the device is doing many things at the same time and responding quickly is the only way to ensure the device is not overloaded, small business environments often have only 1 computer accessing the device at the same time.

As a result, it seems that many small and cheap NAS devices are built to be "OK" for a single user, and struggle to be classed merely as "atrocious" when 2 or 3 people try to do things at the same time.
