Greg,

I have a QNAP ts-412 and use it to store all my Movies, Music and Pictures
on it.  It is mounted over nfs to my master backend and I usually simlink
the high-level directories into the storage groups for the respective media
types.

I would not recommend using it to store your recordings as it tends to go
to sleep pretty regularly when nothing is occurring (i.e. streaming a
movie).  It periodically wakes up.  I think in order to use it for
recordings, you would almost want something to access it a minute or so
prior to a recording started so it can wake up the drives.
