I was checking out the Seatgate 4T, 2 bay NAS boxes and they have one they call "diskless". What's that mean? They are using Solid State Hard Drive's SSD though I suspect that would be really expensive. Do you have a link??

No, diskless means that it comes without any disks and you supply your own.

Oh crap.... you're right. I could have sworn the “diskless” NAS I was looking at on Amazon said 4T, but now, looking closer, you have to select the amount of storage capacity. Duhhh…. There appears to be two different Seagate models. I can’t tell the difference between the two. Any idea what the difference is between these two? Both are two bay, 4T machines. Different model numbers. They look a bit different as well.

Don't buy the one that advertises up to 100BM/s. Not unless you've got really good plumbing.

Honestly, I'd probably go with a ReadyNAS or a Synology before the Seagate. ReadyNAS by preference, but that's because I'm pretty familiar with them.

 Price wise, these are about a hundred bucks for than the Seagate units. Are they more stable / reliable?

I don't know anything about the Seagate units, but they are pretty reliable and stable. Of course, you'll get drive failures with anything.
