There are two of them, both colored white and powered by ARM CPUs

NAS devices are more PCs than storage units, since they essentially have to merge the benefits of servers with those of external storage. Shuttle's Omnias series shows this well.

There are two new additions to this collection, called Omnias KD21 and KD22. They rely on 1 GHz / 1.2 GHz ARM processors, 512 MB RAM and 2.5 / 3.5-inch storage drives.

The Omnias KD21 can read at 100 MB/s and write at 70 MB/s, while the KD22 can achieve 110 MB/s and 70 MB/s transfers, thanks to the slightly better 1.2 GHz CPU.

The former has a price of around €133 / $133 and the latter of €156 / $156. Low tags, because HDDs/SSDs aren't included. You'll have to buy one or two of those yourself. Fortunately, you have until the start of November to decide if you'll get one, since sales won't start any sooner than that.
