I've been kinda waiting for a long time to find some box that makes sense to add a lot of storage to and let it sit on my network with NFS, Samba, FTP, HTTP, whatever so I can get to the storage however II'd like to see a low cost bring-your-own-drives NAS appliance that is RACK MOUNT! Maybe one that holds 12 drives instead of 4 or 5. But at the same price point as a 4 or 5 drive one (you could put the control logic on the same board as the SATA connectors, so the whole unit would only need to be 10" deep or so.
Having worked for several years in the early Double-Noughts with an XScale + GigE + SCSI/SATA/FIBERCHANNEL... I can safely say that the killer is the 'low power/low performance' of the ARM/XSCALE/MINIMAL CPU implementations.
