Sounds like a good candidate for Next Gen Time Capsule... if that it ever get updated

The Price at $27 means most entry level NAS wont be using it. The starting price for any NAS using it will likely start at $300.

I really do hope, Home Server, NAS catches up as a trend instead of us relying everything on the "Cloud".

Exactly... If I am spending my hard-earned money on a NAS, it is exactly because i need stuff to be in my lan and/or don't want to use the cloud.

Especially the pace of Internet connection speed is moving in slow pace compared to the bulk of data we create / store every day.

The gross margins on NAS are so high? why?

They aren't that high... there's tooling costs (which are pretty fixed) regardless of if you sell 100 or 100000 devices. You also have some pretty high software costs to ensure everything works together well. There are far fewer NAS boxes sold than laptops or desktops, so they need higher margins to cover other fixed costs.

Apple cancelled the AirPort program a while ago.

I doubt that rumour is true, likely the team moved on to something else until 802.11ax comes.

A big part of using a home NAS is energy consumption. I don't know how energy efficient these guys will be.

My last round of system upgrades (htpc and desktop) two years ago were driven by lowering power use... I retired a homebrew freenas box using an FX-8350, and was surprised at the change in the power bill... my htpc at the time was a similar cpu, and my desktop, I don't recall what it had at that point. In the end went with a couple i3-5010u's for htpc and spare, and an i7-4790 for my desktop (usually idle)... man did that make a huge dent in my electric bill.

Planning on a new NAS sometime this year, so hopefully will see something with enough oomph to do on the fly transcoding from h.265 to whatever my devices need. I've been recoding most of my media to h.265 for space savings, but wouldn't mind being able to direct-stream it to more things. Still think it would be cool to do a media server that targets chromecast devices.
