Anyone here use NAS (Network Accessible Storage) devices?

I used to use a NAS (linksys EFG80 later an EFG120) but when they stopped supporting it (and still had issues to fix) I stopped right quick. (system going down, freezing, slow transfers)

If you can find something that isn't going to be vaporware and a company will continue support (or just works from the get go) it should work good.

I currently just host a massive share off my desktop and it seems to work okay. (3 computers and 4 video players)

DLinkOZ:
My approach was slightly different - I used a PC with raid controller and installed openfiler.  Then I carve out LUNs and client machines can connect via iSCSI.  Technically, it's a SAN (not NAS), but close enough.

Whoops, yes, should have been more specific in the OP.  Basically I just wanted to know what people's experiences were with them, anything to look out for, things to avoid, etc.

I do have a Gigabit router, although the rest of my network is currently 10/100 due to older h/w (switches and NICs).  I'll probably upgrade those sooner or later.

Like what, if I may ask?

I haven't had ANY issues with speed on my device.  That includes streaming 720p video to two clients at the same time.  My whole network is standard 10/100.
