Current focus for FlexRAID™ on NAS
Rather than trying to re-invent the wheel, there won't be a FlexRAID™ NAS per say, but rather the focus will shift to supporting FlexRAID™ (Snapshot and Live!) on various NAS products.
I think there are plenty of good NAS products out there such that creating one specifically for FlexRAID will simply create more noise than provide any real value.
Ultimately, FlexRAID is a RAID product that should be made usable wherever it makes sense to use it without restriction of OS or environment.
There have already been plenty of discussions about FlexRAID on WHS and I see no reason for it not working on popular Linux NAS such as FreeNAS and OpenFiler.
In particular, once I have FlexRAID Live! ready for Linux, it might prove to be a valuable add-on to those Linux NAS.
