Cheap 'n' Cheerful NAS

[Seb]

Are these any good? Ive only ever heard bad things and had bad experiences with netgear, but its always been with routers and modems and switches. Anyone know what this NAS is like? I dont want to but something with drives as I have two IDE disks I want to put in it.

I'm not that worried about speed as its just storage for MP3s and docs. Having read a few reviews ive been put off it a bit though; no support for Linux/MacOSX

I want something thats a simple drive mapping; this NetGear requires a software/driver install.

Anyone know of any alternatives for similar cost?
