Most "NAS" (Network-attached storage) devices  are just appliances that have a 
minimum level of intelligence to provide NFS, Samba, and/or Appletalk. In 
other words, it's just a compact file server with little or no user management 
or security. 

My suggestion: Just build a server with lots of storage space and configure 
Samba on it.
