Probably, but a) I'm not very interested in video at the moment, and b) I wouldn't put video on a NAS device anyways (except for archiving). Video editing wants a lot of bandwidth, so I would put that kind of thing on a local disk (or disk array).
Once you have such a machine, there's then nothing stopping you from
using that device as your NAS for other machines in your network. It's
a little more expensive route, but it kills two birds: you have a nice
NAS device and one seriously powerful multimedia workstation.
Well, I wouldn't make a workstation (of any kind) a primary file server ... there are a lot of systems that would be depending on the file server and the possibility of a workstation rebooting (either planned or unplanned) are higher than I would be comfortable with. Do you think the people who depend on the list archives would like it if the web content went away anytime I installed new software? <grin/>
