Anyone here use NAS (Network Accessible Storage) devices?
lilshawn:
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.
