I was in the same situation as you not a month or two ago. I spend days online looking for a good NAS, and really couldn’t find anything that impressed me. I ended up going with 4-1 TB 3.5″ drives, and putting them in a Linux software RAID 10 with LVM on top. I know it’s not a NAS, but no matter what I looked at, I couldn’t find anything decent. I had a lot of friends online recommend this and that, then they’d get into a discussion why this brand or the other sucks.

So, my RAID array is now accessible via SSHFS, NFS, asd CIFS. All my GNU/Linux machines, my wife’s iMac and our virtual XP box can access the data on the drives. Works great.
