Yeah... No. No it does not. It provides
*EXACTLY* the same RAID system that you can get with *any* old Linux system.
It may include a very attractive package: I
love the size and shape of, say, the Iomega ix4-200d. But all its
got is a very standard SATA interface and MD for RAID. Just like
*EVERY* Linux distribution in the last decade or so.

They are just as "in the default configuration"
as that NAS device.
Low-end NAS devices offer nothing outside of packaging
and turn-key operation FOR THE SOFTWARE THEY INCLUDE. Everthing else
is just one sharp corner after another.
