QNAP NAS

I have been using a QNAP TS-210 for quite a while now and I have to say I couldn't live without it. It is a two disk NAS device and offers all the features you would expect of its more expensive siblings including the ability to act as an iscsi target. It compromises in places, no hot swap disks or dual NICs but for a home environment I can live with that.

It is an intriguing device, it has the feel of a closed system but if you look at little hardware you can delve deeper and customise it as much as you want including installing Debian. I haven't had the need to do this as the supplied software is sufficient for my needs (at the moment).

The one minor complaint I have had was when QNAP updated the uPNP/DLNA server to TwonkyMedia v5, this removed the ability to have complex trees for large media collections. In steps QNAP QPKG which still offered Twonky 4, success I have my trees back again.

Do you have a QNAP device, what model do you have any what do you think.
