The gross margins on NAS are so high? why?



They aren't that high... there's tooling costs (which are pretty fixed) regardless of if you sell 100 or 100000 devices. You also have some pretty high software costs to ensure everything works together well. There are far fewer NAS boxes sold than laptops or desktops, so they need higher margins to cover other fixed costs.
