"High-end" NAS server with only 8 GB of RAM?
No thanks.

8GB is plenty sufficient. Keep in mind this is a headless device where the vast majority of user applications run on it are in shared memory or just cached.

Maybe for a house NAS scenario (5 or less clients watching movies) but for "High-end business", i don't think so.

Watching movies puts minimal stress or CPU or memory. My home server has a socket AM1 Athlon. Really nothing impressive at all. In fact, it's quite terrible. But, it barely puts an effort into streaming 1080p 5.1 channel movies, and I don't recall memory usage ever going above 1GB.
Keep in mind, in this NAS there's no GPU or VPU, so all it would be doing is some basic network compression. The rest is all up to network bandwidth. That being said, this comes full circle back to my first post - if this is for high-end business, then Gigabit Ethernet is where this really seems to be lacking. I'd much rather have a single 4Gbps Ethernet than 4x 1Gbps Ethernet for a device like this.

I don't really understand how a NAS would benefit from such a CPU. To my understanding, most ARM-based business NASs keep up with their workloads just fine while they cost less, are physically smaller, and use a lot less power. Without 4Gbps or 10Gbps networking, I can't imagine this NAS would end up being stressed enough.
