I have 4 linksys NSLU2 boxes (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NSLU2). Downside is that the drives are formatted as linux drives, and cannot be plugged in to your pc without reformatting (or moved from nas to nas without big problems). These work pretty good, but not great. Since the drives are external USB, when they get shut down due to power outages, they don't come back up without manual intervention.
I have 2 netgear SC101 Nas toasters. The problem with these is that under Windows, they are not ip addressable servers, but get attached as mapped drives. This works perfect for the users in this case (7 year old nephew, 65 year old father), as they needn't worry about how to get to the drives, they appear as local harddrives. I have one Buffalo Terastation (same issues as the netgears). Works great. Since I run the 4 drives as separate drives, i can remove and replace at leisure. But, I admit my current favorite is a macMini with cheap external usb drives attached. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
