Very nice review, but you don't talk about the mixed storage (1 SSD as "cache" + HDDs) that is really nice, is it still there in this model?

Honestly why is no one just going for 10GbE? i will not upgrade anything till we get 10GbE standard.

Yes, SSD caching available.

I agree but it is more a "normal" user's NAS and, as for now, only few hardware accept 10GbE.
Don't forget also that you can add minimum a digit to the price of a pro switch/rooter that can do 10GbE over mainstream one (and with this choise you would also not choise this nas but a pro one (also more expensive

).

Hopefully, as Hilbert said, future seem to be more in this way.
Just wait a bit.
