a couple years back I bought a typical 4-bay NAS box adn found out quickly

indeed might actually work. Other than this, I figure the NAS is a brick as
far as I'm concerned here and something like a Drobo has to be afforded?
Actually any NAS should work with a Mac; you may have to use SMB to connect to
it instead of AFP. Some can have netatalk turned on, enabling AFP, but that may
require digging into the NAS admin console.
Also, with the advent of 10.7 a whole lot of NAS boxes broke because Apple
changed their SMB stack from Samba to their own codebase. I know that delayed
adoption of 10.7 here by almost 6 months because our shiny new SAN didn't work
with 10.7.
What brand/model is your enclosure?
