I just bought a QNAP TS-251 a couple of months ago to replace my old  Intel SS4000E fileserver that started looking like it was thinking about dying after a dozen years in service.

So far I'm pretty happy with this QNAP, though I did have to spend a while in the setup screen turning off a bunch of stuff that I don't need, want, or care about.  In particular, it was creating a ton of .@_thumb files every night.  Since I use it exclusively for  file backups, I don't want any of the "multimedia" stuff that it can do, but now that I've got all of that turned off, it's a slick little fileserver.

The one that I got is only two bays but they sell bigger ones if you want it.  I just got the two bay model with two 1tb hard drives in it.
