Small footprint NAS

Who can recommend a NAS with the smallest space footprint?
There is a need to install this in a space which is small.
Many thanks,

So, you need to give us, I would say a little but it's more like a LOT more info.

Is this commercial? Is it personal? What's it being used for? Are you storing VM's for a cluster? What sort of connections are you wanting, how much are you wanting to spend, what sort of storage are you looking for?

You get the idea.

Thanks
Alex
i guess any 2 bay NAS should fit just nicely everywhere....they are a bit bigger than 2 HDDs with some breathing room and the motherboard

I second Bill... Synology for business for sure. For home if they want something cheaper, I have had good experience with DLink

This question needs an answer!
