My concern in general is using any IDE or SATA class Hard drive for multiple users. The more the users, or heavier the demand on the Hard Drive, the more likely I am to move to a SCSI interface which is inherently designed to handle multiple I/O demands. Got to pick the right weapon for the right fight. I have looked at NAS devices as useful for light multi-user use where nobody wants to get a Real Server that is designed to handle heavier traffic (yes, including adding a SCSI Hard drive). I also look at NAS as useful for file backup purposes, although it seems to me a USB 2.0 or SATA (II) interface could be far faster for that purpose.
Just my little old two cents...
