Current NAS are simply too slow. As proved with WHS NAS can be very fast with the proper hardware.  
With Diamondville Dual Core we could easily get a very fast NAS. Just why isn't there any manufacture doing it?

Atom procs were just released let alone time for companies to put products on the market.
 
If you've got a last gen machine or enough parts to put together a low end machine, why even bother buying an off the shelf NAS? Especially when you can get a free and stable operating system like Openfiler and FreeNAS and have a NAS up and running in less than 20 minutes.

But Candy I said Candy no you can't do that to me
Because you love me way to much for you to ever leave

Well if there is a Mini ITX case with good ventilation and 5 Disk Slot only, I would mind building up my own NAS.
 
The problem is there isn't any. May be i am too impatient.
