I've been thinking about getting a basic two-drive one (probably to set up RAID 1).  Looking at either the QNAP ts219p ii or Synology ds213, or maybe something else.

Mainly I just want to replace my existing aging file server with something more compact, energy efficient, and capable of using larger (i.e. 3+ TB) drives.

Are you looking for advice?  I have a NAS box at home.  Make sure you run it with a good internal router to maximize access speed.  My UVERSE built in router limits Wireless LAN traffic (sigh).

emphatic:
I recently got myself a Synology DS DS212J and I love it. The app support is great (starting downloads from your iPhone, streaming our stored media to your iPhone - I'm sure apps exist for other mobile platforms as well) and the plugin for Chrome (you get a "Download with DownloadStation" link) works great too, even though it's sometimes hit n' miss with YouTube videos.

There's some functionality I'd love to have, but I'm sure they will get added with future updates to the O/S.

We have a synology ds713+ in our office. We use it as our main file server for an office of about 10 people. We have never had any issues whatsoever with it.  I highly recommend their products.  Just make sure to put high quality drives in it.

I run my media at home off a standalone single drive WD NAS.  Almost entirely plug and play into the network, it's pretty nice, and so far has been rock solid reliable.   I don't ask for much from it.  Just serving files/media to the house from any of 7-8 clients (WDTV, PCs, phones).
