what is the cheapest price for NAS?

Any idea what processor is that? I think compared to the processing power and memory of the Microserver, I think it's not even close.

i want to ask about nas.. does it perform as like usb drive where if i want to edit my work i can open it directly and save it directly?

lets say i want to create a database using access, can i host it and the nas and all the pc can connect to the nas and access the system?
