Well, it's finally happened: my Drobo died. Time to get a new NAS.

And by Drobo, I mean the ORIGINAL Drobo. While I mourn it's passing, I'm also looking forward to see what kind of NAS technology is out there these days.

I'd like something that can function as a true NAS, with built-in gigabit ethernet interfaces. The ability to have either redundant interfaces or (miracle of miracles) bonded interfaces for extra bandwidth would be nice as well. I'd like to have at least five drives and the ability to run in multiple RAID configurations, at least RAID 5. Rack-mountable would be a plus.

So, any suggestions out there?
