Any word on whether the 4 bay uses the built in RAID capabilities of btrfs (still not production ready, especially RAID 5) or whether it sits on top of a traditional RAID layer?
One of the supposed benefits of a dedicated device is manufacturer support and yet all the manufactures seem to have dreadful reviews. We bought a NetGear NAS without enough research and I can only say these are not suitable for business critical use. If your device fails in warranty you are looking at hours of premium rate phones calls and limited part availability even for brand new devices. Logging an on-line support issue does not get any response.

i wish their baytrail models were more affordable, they charge a huge premium for that cheap little soc.these look great i just wished they used ARM 64bit cores just for the instruction set improvements.

The performance numbers for the dual core ARM SOC were very good, not sure a baytrail would really be that much better...Gigaplex - Friday, October 2, 2015 - link
