Hehehe - I don't think Netap will be in the running here. The next version of the Synology GUI is apparently going to be made accessible, I have one of their units so will see how this goes. There are some other interesting NAS projects that use your own hardware - one I was looking at was UnRaiD - heard good things about it, as it can run virtual servers as well. Haven't got enough disks to try it out yet though. One advantage with the pre-built units is their power consumption which is usually lower than general purpose kit. I used a Thekas NAS at my old job for a while and that had a usable GUI, all be it that it used an ancient version of the firmware.

Also, way up the price spectrum I have done a lot with Netapp and they have a very good CLI.

Hello listers
I'm currently in the market for a NAS. Being new to these devices, my concern is accessibility, as i'd like to make full use of the device.
I do understand that one may manage these devices via a web interface which sounds abit promising.
I can get my hands on the following nas devices: QNAP HS-210, which is what I'd like to get. Lenovo iomega ix2 synology ds414J and also some NAS devices from Thecus.
If you've used NAS devices from the above listed Manufacturers, your advice would be much appreciated.
