The crew at Benchmark Reviews had a lot of good things to say about the QNAP TVS-863+ vNAS server they just reviewed. Here's a quote from the full review:

After years of suffering with multiple generations of Intel Atom-based NAS devices with lackluster performance, from every NAS manufacturer in the market, finally we have a low power replacement that rocks the world. The Intel Bay Trail-D CPU is a great little replacement for the Atom, but the new AMD GX-424CC is in another league altogether. The Radeon graphics section inside, plus four CPU cores running at 2.4 GHz, and a well-developed APU architecture that marries the two together for challenging loads, provides a sea change in computing performance for the low-power, low-cost NAS segment.

If I hadn't just bought a Qnap TS-451 a month ago I would have definately been interested in this model.
 
$1500 for a 8 bay nas with 8 gig of ram and a low power apu...

Idles at 50 watt...

And doesnt come with any disks....

Who buys this stuff over a real server?
 
For the uninitiated, RAID arrays only protect against entire disk failure, not data at the file or block level. If you want your data intact and not corrupted over time, use tech like ZFS. It's more affordable to implement, faster, and has way more awesome features than basic RAID arrays, like checksumming at the block level of ALL data.

These devices do not.

People who can't be bothered to build and maintain a "real server"? People who want something that works out of the box and has a suite of useful software features, built-in, that also works out of the box? These are technically being marketed at "small business", a customer base least likely to be interested in hand building a server when it would probably be cheaper and faster to just buy one prebuilt. Home users most likely wouldn't see a benefit though.

the same people that buy wireless printers and use the 'easy setup' button.

"works out of the box" does not make it secure, good, or right in any way.

Who buys a "server" for mass file storage?
