Debian based NAS? What to buy?

Hello, I am thinking about buying a new NAS box. Not a DIY box, but a ready to use NAS (2 to max 4 trays) for home use (it has to be *small* and quiet). As I had a lot of trouble with my ReadyNas Duo (Debian based but now unsupported), for which I now have trouble buying supported 2G disks, so I
