I also have a network drive and been very impressed with speed and
ease of use. I have a Linksys Network Storage Link (CJE had them in
stock) with a 500GB USB drive. I find it particularly useful as it is
accessible via the network from my Iyonix, RiscPC and Windows laptop
for use as a backup. It also has connection for a second USB hard disk
or flash drive, but I am still filling up my first drive at the moment
:)
