I'm using the QNAP TS410 right now. RAID5 with 4x2TB drives.

The one thing I've noticed (and probably regret now) is that the CPU on it isn't the greatest, and apparently based on responses on QNAP's forum this has a fairly large effect on transfer speeds. I manage about 25-30MB/s when transferring to my NAS (they're located on the same gigabit switch). However, I can't complain since I got it for the bargain basement price off $250 off someone on Craigslist.

The one you linked appears to be faster than the one on the TS410 so you might not see the same issues.

I do however like their 3rd party "plugin" support for the NAS. They have things like torrent clients, newsgroup clients, Asterix VoIP server, surveillance recording and apps for your iPhone that allow playback of your content from your phone.
