Many of the newer LinkSys routers feature this as well... but I still prefer something dedicated. Heck, I think even some of the networked HP printers can also act as a network proxy for USB drives. The ReadyNAS (now by NetGear) is BRILLIANT - I've got two and love them. These are full, four drive RAID enclosures, but they also make simpler non-RAID NAS devices. Highly recommended.
