Comes with Dantz Retrospect Express, the NAS can be expanded by connecting external USB2 drives to it (over 1 Terabyte), the NAS Finder software provides automatic drive mapping and configuration, comes with free unlimited tech support, has a built in print server, 3 year warranty, RAID 0/1, PC & Mac compatible, but it's not Gigabit Ethernet, it's only 10/100.

I wonder if it's Linux (or Unix) under the hood. The Linksys NSLU2, at about $80, was really popular among hackers because it runs Linux, all on some type of non-volatile RAM. The guy at Tom's Hardware (tomshardware.com) learned how to break in and modify the pseudodisk, and a whole community sprang up and figured out how to use the NSLU2 for many other purposes. One of the first things was to provide NFS as well as CIFS (SMB) file service.

It uses a Broadcom NAS on a chip (which means it supports CIFS/SAMBA, and NFS also), it also uses Java with the latest Firmware http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=29965
Apparently it runs Linux, I don't know what flavor but TomsNetworking has a review of the 250GB model at the time it was running Linux kernel version 2.4.20, the filesystem is Reiser.
Here's a review of the 160GB NAS.
