99% of NAS boxes, maybe, but not dumb RAID boxes like the one I believe you’re referring to.

(And I doubt even that, with the likes of FreeNAS extending down from the enterprise space where consumer volume can affect that sort of thing.)

I have more than speculation to back that guess: the available firmware images are far too small to contain a Linux OS image, their manuals don’t talk about Linux or GPL that I can see, and there’s no place to download their Linux source code per the GPL.

While doing this exploration, I’ve run into multiple problems with their web site, which strengthens my suspicion that this box is your culprit.  If they’re this slipshod with their marketing material, what does that say about their engineering department?
