I upgraded to a high-end NAS in my home for a month, here's what I learned

As a NAS reviewer, I poke and prod at different NAS units to find the good and bad of each. I've set them up to take over crucial functions to see if they live up to expectations, and where they might disappoint. Most have been two-bay and four-bay models, with a couple boasting slightly more. All have been consumer models, generally equipped with moderate processors, less RAM, and other cost-saving compromises.
