And for what it's worth I really like freenas which is a bsd based Nas solution that has a single sqlite3 file as its config and is meant to be run off a USB key .... so that all of your drives can be "data drives".
It has a Web gui. Has some cool plug-ins like dockers and sick beard. And best of all it uses zfs , the Cadillac of filesystems IMHO. I've been running on it reliably for a couple of years now.
