Can anyone who owns both tell me if the 12 qt and 8 qt nest for storage? I have limited storage space so need something that can nest.

No the 8qt won't fit inside the 12qt because they are the same size in diameter. The 12qt pot is taller than the 8qt. Sorry but not a space saver for you...

you are right Margaret, amazon had the specs switched. the 6 qt. is the standard oven and the 8 qt. is the deep model, as indicated by the D in the middle of the model number. that is a great price on the deep one.

Yes. It's not a full nesting so you will need a bit more headroom than the height of the 8, but you won't need a bigger footprint. I also keep the steamer basket and rack in the 8, and invert the glass lid so that everything stores together. I store the pressure lid separately to prevent any wear and tear on the gasket.

No, they do not nest. They are great for meals but I've had problems finding room to store mine.

No it is better to have more room then less.you will find out you can cook more meals in the larger cooker then in the smaller. The 6 qt is the perfect size. I know you will love it

The 1 GB RAM module can (reportedly) be exchanged for a 2 GB module (I'm about to do this myself). YMMV when using a 4GB module, there are reports of Plex being broken or even data corruption. Changing RAM may void your warranty. As for which one is better, I never looked at Qnap to begin with because we had a failed Qnap unit at the office and that was not the first broken unit our IT guys had experienced.

I'd consider a full tower. Just my opinion. I tried medium, but always felt it is not enough space.

I decided I did not want to worry about space so I put a PNY 128 GB Elite in ours. It was a little pricey at $63 but it is very fast. P.S. Love this camera.

I believe by default they come in a RAID 1, which would give you 2TB of total storage. If you set it to RAID0, you'll get use of all 4TB (probably 3.6 or so useable) but you will not have redundancy.

Thanks John. I bought the machine with two 2.8 ghz, 2 gb ram 320 gb hard drive, superdrive, airport, etc. I plan on purchasing extra RAM online, maybe at B&H.; I will hook up external harddrives for more storage for the present, eventually getting more hard-drives. I don't really understand the whole RAID discussion. As for screens, after a lot of research, I went for the NEC 2080Wuxi2 with the software. I think the LaCie seems just as good, the Eizo reputedly better, but I want some screen space. THe B&H; store has custom set-ups for photography. One thing they have is blue-tooth which seems absent hereThanks again. Thanks John.

I have run 4TB drives in mine without issue. So up to 32TB for the 8 bay unit.

AFP yes, QTS 4.1 supports SMB 2.0, Qnap NAS produtct offer better hfs+ support, looks like yes to all three

I went for the dn1000 instead of the 810, because of the GUI. Other than that I really didnt see much of a difference in spec wise. My friend has the 810 and I will be receiving mine next week.

I cancelled my order. Bought a 120gb xp model at microcenter for 350. I can live without the longer battery life and bigger hd.. I needed it to have it as I am going away this weekend.

I believe the difference are the depths. I would not say the 6 qt. is bigger because it is more shallow but seems to be wider. Where the 8 qt. is less shallow and probably not as wide. I got the 8 qt. and it really is a great size for everything we use it for.

I have a 350 gig that I have been storing on for 3 years... it is only 1/3 of the way full. 1 T8 has over 3 times the storage... I scan and save 1000 pages a day for 5 days a week..Hope this helps.
