Are there any NAS type boxes out there that have USB 3 and network connectivity?

Basically after something I can use as a USB 3 drive from my main rig while looking like a NAS drive to other machines on the network.

Anyone know of anything like?

I basically want to move my main storage out of my box without loosing any/much speed and gigabit network really doesn't cut it.

Lots of alternatives like using fast (infiniband/10gbe) network between my main PC and the NAS box, link aggregation etc etc but I figured the easiest method (if available) is going to be USB 3 + NAS.

Any ideas?
 
No, it doesn't really work. You could cobble something together if you have a little electronics knowhow and it'd appear to work, but since the host requires exclusive access when connected via USB you'd probably run into problems.
