My favorite product of 2009 was the Syn-ology DS509+, a five-bay stand-alone network-attached storage (NAS)/storage-area network storage system that is tiny, nearly noiseless, and a great value. It is available in several configurations, offers capacities up to 8TB (in RAIDS), and a great feature set, considering the $2,500 price tag. It provides seamless NAS functionality and unlike most small NAS boxes, also includes iSCSI support. It doesn't support replica-rntion or thin provisioning, but those features could be added with additional software.
