Pros: This NAS was used to replace an aging VMware ESX servers internal storage. We were looking for native iSCSI with VAAI Support and this NAS has delivered. The initial configuration of the drives (we're using 6 4tb Seagate NAS drives in RAID 6) was so easy a Jr admin would have no problems with it. After the initial setup, we disabled the non-essential services (iTunes music server, etc) configuring the network truck was easy as well. With all four interfaces trucked we're getting well over 1gb/sec (145+mb/sec) in file transfers from a file server share hosted on a VM via iSCSI.
Cons: QNAP has several different versions of network storage devices on NewEgg, if you are looking for certain features (VAAI support, certain memory configurations, etc) you have to cross-check qnap.com to make sure the device supports the feature you want. Another thing to watch out for is the update that are offered, all that it takes is one click to start the updates, there is no confirmation before the install / reboot steps even if there are connected iSCSI and NFS sessions. Make sure your vSphere servers are in maintenance mode before starting the update process.
Overall Review: The iPhone app is handy to check basic functionality (network bandwidth, current network sessions etc)
