I have been using an Arm QNAP NAS for some years but I am currently in the process of converting to a Vortexbox running on an old Dell Server but with the files still stored on the NAS via NFS mount. Scan speed is about twice as fast on the Dell as it is on the QNAP but the Dell doesn't have the same disk capacity. The Vortexbox CD ripper rips straight to the share on the QNAP. Personally I would avoid anything that relies on USB storage. Have found that USB disks often go "offline" and require disconnection, server reboot and then reconnection to get them recognised again. This is with all sorts of different Linux distros.
