I have a Synology DS211j. No problem so far, after 8 months. I am very satisfied. Easy to configure, their OS (DSM 3.1 here) is really simple. Lots of features.

You can also encrypt specific directory.

Can't comment on your specific models.

Another vote for synology, they make a quality product.

But can you run Sickbeard and CP and Sab on Synology no problem?

Why not freenas or unraid?

I'm happy with my ds410 synology. It's got a good feature set, it's quiet and reliable, and new software comes out at regular intervals. You'll see quite a few grumbles on the synology forums about this & that but I avoid the beta releases and haven't had any problems. My experience is that the box just works.
