When considering NAS for your home, like QNAP or Thecus that offer iSCSI support, one thing to watch out for is how many simultaneous iSCSI connections do these devices allow.

I would also like to see these NAS vendors add more than 2 GbE NICs in their devices and faster CPUs to take care of some of the bottlenecks int he setup.

Moreover, I am also in the process of building my home virtualization lab (extending existing lab to accomodate virtualization):
