Just finished watching your video on it. I'll be curious to see how the quality improves on the production units. I don't think I'll need 2 8TB drives for it lol but this seems to be one of the better RPI NAS form factors so far.

Heh, the 8 TB drives was more for show than anything else—I actually have them in mind for a separate project but it's more fun saying 16 TB SSD than 4 TB... plus one of my 2 TB Crucial SSDs seems to have burned itself out this week so I guess it's two good things!

I hope they make the 3.5" model too, though—it would be more cost effective (and fit the Pi's performance better) to use 3.5" HDDs that are a lot cheaper per GB, and could still easily saturate the 1 Gbps network jack.
