[ale] NAS recommendations

[Ken Cochran]

Any ALEr Words of Wisdom wrt desktop NAS?
Looking for something appropriate for, but not limited to, photography.
Some years ago Drobo demoed at (I think) AUUG.  (Might've been ALE.)
Was kinda nifty for the time but I'm sure things have improved since.
Synology?  QNAP?
Build something myself?  JBOD?
Looks like they all running Linux inside these days.
Rackmount ones look lots more expensive.
Ideas?  What to look for?  Stay away from?  Thanks, Ken
