from www.amazon.com
This Home Server has exceeded my expectations in the following ways:

Icydock 3.5Â Sata Internal Hard Drive MB-671SK-B

$44.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
I bought this because I quickly and easily ruined the first one that came with my drive enclosure.
from www.amazon.com
I previously used the old tray and drive bay system where each drive needed it's own tray.
from www.amazon.com
One odd thing--it has an old style 4 pin molex power connector in the back, not one of the new SATA power connectors.
from www.amazon.com
installed easily, drives slide in/out kind of tight but still OK.
from strelok, www.newegg.com
Pros: -Nicely built.-Drives can be inserted into the bay without any sleeves.

Buffalo Technology LinkStation Pro Duo

$351.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
i've been able to set this disk up on the other computers on the network to allow sharing of files among machines.

Netgear RND2110 1TB ReadyNAS Duo 1x1000GB

$505.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
Bought this in early May 2009.
from www.amazon.com
Out of the box the NAS firmware (3.x.x) will not support a 2TB drive, however, based on information from developer posts on a ReadyNas forum, the WD 2TB drive, specifically the WD20EADS, will soon be supported and posted on the Netgear Duo Hardware C...
from www.amazon.com
Now Netgear is a different story.
from www.amazon.com
I purchased the RND2000, which comes without any disk drives, and I purchased a WD Green 1TB with 32Mb cache.
from www.amazon.com
product seems good but user interface is not intuitive for several design issues and technical support is terrible.

from www.amazon.com

from www.amazon.com
of the small office nas products i've installed, it has the easiest setup - the configuration menus aren't quite mac-like, but they're the closest of any nas i've used.
from www.amazon.com
we have the 500gb model and are using it as the home file and music server with mac os x.

$196.00 Est. at Amazon

from stoomy, www.newegg.com
Cons: The documentation is really bad..even on Intel's site.

I use mine for video storage/streaming only and it serves that purpose well.
