Any experience with any of these? All seem to have similar features.
Any advantages to going with Unraid? edit - doing some reading.... seems like a more flexible system when it comes to storage size and recovery, but you essentially build a PC with the attached drives and run using the Unraid Operating System (probably over simplified it).

If you want "storage for a noob" unraid is not the way to go. It's very powerful and if you want to spend the time to learn it then it might fit the bill, but a NAS will be the most "set it and forget it" network storage option out there. Personally I'm going to grab a Synology DS420+ whenever I can actually buy hard drives for the damn thing
