I got rid of my Netgear NAS recently cause it was crap but looking to replace it with a good unit!
Its Fairly good only slight concern is that the inbuilt proftpd is an older version that has a buffer overflow vulnerability However on your LAN only that's probably not a problem (and i've not tried the exploit code i just know it exists)

Its accessible via Samba (windows file sharing) and FTP, it also has NFS support but i don't have that turned on.
Theres also an itunes server but i've heard it doesn't work properly with itunes 7.2 (i've not used that long enough to comment on the stablity with itunes 7.2)


Its fairly noisy with the 2hdds + fan in it. (mines on my desk so i do hear it, its not that annoying to me since my previous pc was fairly loud)

Get about 3.5 Mbytes/s to it on the wired lan and its fairly simple to setup.
Does take a good few minutes to be ready after a power on tho.

Overall its a neat little box and its certainly worth what it costs
