Possibly the "connect and go" aspect of a NAS device. Very little configuration or management required in most cases.

I guess I didn't phrase my question well. What I don't understand is the advantage of a Win2k NAS device over a regular Win2k server.

Aren't they just a locked-down Win2k server? Why would that be any better than a regular Win2k server that you could operate just like all your other servers?

The big advantage here is that they won't have to learn a new system really - these are special NAS versions of Win2k. ------------------------------------------------------ Roger D.
