For those that use QNAP devices and have not upgraded to revision 3.x of the firmware I highly recommend doing so now – the Web Admin UI has undergone some serious (and much needed) improvements.

The layout is much more efficient and easy to use, the UI is snappier and since they are essentially lazy loading data in (via Ajax) its a much improved user experience all around.

The Resource Monitor is now graphical, with CPU, Disk and Network bandwidth usage graphs.

The upgrade was painless as always, and can be downloaded from their site.

Here is their (public) release notes:
