Has anyone here ever heard of or used the Seagate NAS STCU100? I came across it the other day, it has its limitations but looks pretty decent and well within my budget, but it seems to have been largely unreviewed.

e: I'm planning on 4x3tb Toshiba drives in RAID 5, won't be using it for more than storage and probably toss Plex on it.

Also my dad wants to switch from a external hard drive to this setup but he's hesitant because he's afraid hackerz can easily access this compared to an external hard drive you can easily disconnect when you're not using it. Is there anything he can read or watch that would put his mind at ease? I keep telling him that no one cares about his vacation photos and that's pretty much his best defense but it's not quite enough to satisfy him.

He's not wrong, the SynoLocker malware that got a bunch of people was just a little over a year ago.

Of course, this was because people were using an older version of DSM that had a security hole instead of upgrading to the latest version (that had been patched). So just make sure that he's running the latest version of DSM I guess. Or just unplug it like other have said.
