My own system runs Win Server 08 R2. It never reboots on it's own for updates and has been stable for months. Hardware upgrades are far and few.
I actually had more issues with my NAS than I did with my current setup. Power on issues, slow access, out of disk space issues, etc. Also if you don't buy a fairly high end NAS the throughput pales in comparison. Now this isn't to say NAS' aren't great but they have their ups and downs depending on what it's used for.

Thats exactly what happened to me on my old NAS system...
Mine had problem such as "not showing on network, won't reboot, missing HDD, Raid Failure". Maybe I just had bad luck with NAS.
Thats why I am using Windows to host my 25tb server.
It nevers gives me any problem so far, and I know better with windows than NAS.
At last, Its way better to build your own Server. A lot more flexibility on the hardware and much more powerful.
And...its ganna be cheaper.
