I seek a 1TB-ish, Mac Friendly, Sub $200, NAS Drive - Things Keep Gettin' Better... :banghead:

i'd consider using one of the existing macs (are they desktops?) and let them sleep but also turn on wake on lan. it'll be slow to browse the volume at first go but after that it will be much faster than a buffalo linkstation.

so that might work for speed + low electricity usage.
