One thing to keep in mind is that NAS doesn't refer to a particular solution, but "Network Attached Storage" in general. If you purchase a NAS you are trusting the software running on that to serve the data correctly. Not that I don't trust Belkin or Buffalo or LinkSys or Lacie, but I'd elect to set up a Linux box I'm in control of, instead of risking being burned down the line. All a NAS is is some hard disks with huge volumes, configured to read/write data using protocols like NetBIOS, FTP, NFS, and SCP. You get what you pay for.
