Amen. When I purchased a second NVX (Business Edition) to supplement my NVX (Pioneer), I moved the data set intact from my Pioneer to the BE and the ONLY thing that changed was the MAC address. The Host name remained and all my share mapping was intact. On this forum we have had numerous episodes where a unit was RMA'd and when the new unit arrived, they inserted their disk set intact and the unit booted up as if nothing had happened. The user appreciated that and many were amazed at how easy it was. I actually consider the fact that the OS is on the disks a very beneficial feature. But then, I am just an ordinary user, not an IT whiz.
