Never bought one of these before, I need it on the network and I'll be recording all ingoing and outgoing phone calls from my small business. Not sure the capacity I need but 300gb sounds large enough. I need something thats reliable and easy to add to my netgear network.
external networked hd needed.

Build yourself a basic PC then use Naslite Here (free) floppy based NAS software or the more advanced Naslite+ which you can boot from a USB pendrive. Put a 300Gb drive in, then if you need more storage you can add another 3 drives (on the current version 1.x - possibly more including RAID on version 2) if you need more space.
If you get a problem with the PC hardware you just build another one pop in the hard drives and they're recognised, or use a programme like EXT2IFS to read the data from the disk on a Windows PC. There's also a UPS script (which needs to be run from a windows PC also connected to a UPS) to shut down the server safely.
