Can anyone recommend a home NAS device that supports SMB3 (SAMBA 4.0)? Ideally with RAID1.
I do not want to assemble a PC myself, I now have a WD LiveBookDuo - I am very pleased with its capabilities and simplicity for me as a home user. However, I want to have SAMBA 4 and the SMB3 protocol.
If there is news about firmware updates in such devices, it would be great. Or if you advise a device with SMB3 (not self-assembly. I don’t want to install the OS and configure it in black screens).
The device is needed to store Hyper-V virtual machines.

The WD MyBook Live (you're talking about it?) uses the usual Debian, compiled for PowerPC. So the whole point is to build and install Samba for this version.
What do you want from SMB3 that you are ready to make such massive changes? Samba 4 is not even out of beta yet, do you appreciate all the pluses and minuses?

I'm talking about the MyBook Live DUO (it's a dual drive version, basically the same MyBook Live but with RAID).
As I understand it, the latest stable version of SAMBA is 4.0.3? And what about Beta?
I have a Hyper-V specialization. And in WS2012, he can store virtual machines on a remote SMB3 storage. SMB/SMB2/SMB2.1 are not supported.
How easy (and bad) is it to update samba on disk? This will not kill the firmware's web capabilities?
