WD DX4000 NAS server

We need the box to be upgraded in the following ways:

1) JBOD support - Some of us need the space, do not force Raid

2) USB 3.0 speed - Faster chips to expedite backups

3) NIC aggregation - LACP for higher throughputs

4) SATA III - use the speed of the bigger disks/cache

5) Hardware RAID - Software raid implementation recovery is too slow

6) 4T disk support - more space in less devices

 

Maybe a more expensive model?

This is brilliant and I hope that WD listens to this. I would like to see Raid 0 because I need the space and speed. I will not buy this device until I see this. I want the raid that the WD Shared Space had. Isn't that just a software change, how hard could that be? I would like to see the ability to copy files to the drive by USB 3.0. I saw this in another thread and I thought it was brilliant. I like the idea above, how about support for 3 tb and 4 tb drives? The Seagate Black Armor NAS 440 has support for 3 tb drives and JBOD and Raid 0.
