I'm in the market for buying an affordable NAS box where I can just plug into an ethernet jack and turn on... adding HDD's when I need more space (without any hassle); and, replacing disks when they go bad. Of course, doing all this without losing data.
Unraid is nice, but I'd rather just buy a physical box/chassis that just plugs in without any kind of configuration necessary; except for optional simple stuff like changing hostname, user account maintenance, and partitioning.. remotely admin'ing via a web interface.
This might be asking for too much, but a chassis that I can just slide a HHD into a slot and snap it into place without any screws would be icing on the cake. I've see that design before on an unrelated product and wondered why dont all HHD chassis make it that easy?
