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.

Candy asked me if she died if I could go on
Of course I said I couldn't and of course we knew that's wrong
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
