Wotcha, looking down from on high in your nas like ninja-ness, I don't suppose you (or others) have a better (more up to date-as most of the actual reviews are 12 months old) top 5 than this for router +H.D. combos.. for a couple of noobs who've just moved and want nas-lite of 2-4tb ish. http://reviews.cnet.com/2733-3243_7-568-5.html
Haven't looked in a while, but if they don't want anything too fancy, it might be worth looking at the "network ready HDD" type offerings from Seagate, Western Digital and the like..? Basically an external hard disk with an Ethernet port that they can plug into their existing router (or ISP provided router I they're starting from scratch).I would think that would be the cheapest option. I'm pretty sure that I didn't just dream that such devices exist...Otherwise, I'm a big fan of Draytek in terms of reliability and their recent routers offer the ability to attach USB hard disks to provide some limited network functionality.What to get probably depends on exactly what they're looking to do with it - e.g. do they just want to share files to multiple PCs within the home or do they want fancier features like streaming their videos within the house or streaming their music to their smartphone while out and about, etc, etc
