If you want to investigate further, here are the main brands, I
imagine most are running on Linux/mdadm-based firmware:

Thecus, Qnap, Synology, Dlink, Buffalo, NetGear (was Infrant)

I can confirm Buffalo & QNAP are both Linux based. Neither support
RAID 10, just 0, 1, 5, and in the QNAP's case, 6.

Do they have a ssh mode, where you can log in and do as you please?

Most likely not in the stock configuration, but on some devices you can
replace the original firmware with something more advanced. For example, I
have installed complete Debian Squeeze on my D-Link DNS-323 box, following
these instructions: http://www.cyrius.com/debian/orion/d-link/dns-323/
It has a 500 MHz ARM CPU and 64 MB of RAM.
