Synology has broken new ground with a completely open, commercial NAS device targeted at the SMB and home market. If you want 4TB of Linux-based RAID 5 NAS storage with SMB/CIFS, NFS, FTP, HTTP, AFP, rsync sharing, automated network and local backups, root access, and much more, you can have it here for less than $2,000. And in sharp contrast to most SMB NAS devices, which lock you into an untouchable system, the Cube Station is as open as if you built it yourself -- but you didn't have to.
