Hello everyone. Does anyone have any experience with using NAS devices
in a mixed environment (Windows, OSX, and linux)? The two primary
purposes of the device would be backup of user data and
sharing/streaming of media files.
Due to the layout of my apartment, this device will be sitting in my
living room in the open, so it must be quiet and ideally compact enough
to fit on a bookshelf behind a few small books.
Although I am not fixated on it, RAID 1 or above would be a very nice
value add.
User swappable drives would be preferred.
It should work with OSX Time Machine, but not let it eat up the entire
hard drive (quota support)
Of course, I would love to have something that is based on open source
software!
So, does anyone have any advice, recommendations, horror stories?
Regards
Mike

Look at ReadyNAS (http://www.readynas.com/)
- very quiet
- works just fine for interoperability with Linux and Windoze
(you need to check your MacOSX requirements)
- lots of additional software extras
