EMC and NetApp have products on EBay. That might be overkill for
most of us on this list.
I generally buy a bunch of disks, and have a machine serve via
Samba, NFS, and Appletalk (yes, I use it sometimes) -- using GNU/Linux.
I don't think I'd trust any of the low-end units with my data,
especially if it isn't redundant.
