I hope you are obviously difficult to add until you have some hardware to play with. Actually just hope this pushes the price of 3Tb drives down as 6x4tb's might be a bit overkill, but my 6x 1.5's are about to burst.
Interesting how 'off topic' this thread went.
Also off topic, any plans to move to newer atom processors with lower power but higher performance. Read about some new chips Intel were planning but delayed due to problems with the in-built graphics. If the graphics could be disabled sounded like a possible improvement. Just read the article (linked below) again and it's the drivers for Win7 that are the issue, not the chip.

Obviously thinking of moving to a newer NAS with SATA III support, not that the drives etc.. will be that much quicker, as I assume the bottleneck is not really the interface but reading the platters. However with higher density this should improve things too.
