Looking at it against my own hopes for such a device: Positives: - free - can install own OS - 6 bays - fanless Negatives: - no caddies - limited performance - I would prefer something like the AL-514 based NAS boxes, Quad Core, 8GB max RAM, 10GbE - no HDD noise damping As an example, if boxes like the Synology DS2015 could run a fully free OS eventually (kernel patches in progress[1]) it might provide a bit more grunt.
