No, FreeNAS is much better. I built a 20 disk NAS cheaper than this, excluding the disk drives of course. Very flexible and powerful. Web interface as well.

FreeNAS has ZFS, so it's a better way to go for that reason. It's also free. However, if you're super familiar with windows, there's nothing wrong with the latest windows home server product...
