Running a 4-bay x64 QNAP device right now that's 5 years old and just came out of support. I am planning on "upgrading" it to Ubuntu by using an SSD in one of the bays and create a RAID-Z array using the 3 remaining disks. Having a NAS is an ever-expanding process. You start off small (a router with DD-WRT and a few services), but then you realize a new way to use it and you hit the limitations of your hardware. Right now, my goal is to DVR a local show that's broadcast OTA, but my USB tuner isn't supported by the heavily-pared down QNAP kernels.
