I seek a 1TB-ish, Mac Friendly, Sub $200, NAS Drive - Things Keep Gettin' Better... :banghead:
#7
I have a asus wl-520gu wireless router with a built-in USB port. I have tomato running and have enabled USB sharing.

I currently plug a flash drive into it and use it as an NAS, ableit a small one. One could plug a large drive into it. I like the low energy usage of a flash drive.

I mount it directly from the finder using cifs/smb so it's platform independent. It looks just like an external drive. I get sustained transfers of about 1.5MB/sec over wireless.

It's pretty easy to setup if you aren't afraid of telnet. The router runs $30-$40.
