Affordable and simple NAS or SAN

[1LUV1T]

Hi all, I'm looking for a 1TB or more network hard drive that will function as my file repository. Not sure what the difference is between NAS or SAN as it seems interchangeable but I need 10 users to access the files from the network drive as a mapped drive on their workstations. Think file server minus the server stuff. Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

I've used a Netgear ReadyNAS as our company's production file server for more than three years.
It's been a tiny bit tricky to properly register it in the domain but after that it was smooth as silk.
It has a stable and reliable RAID setup, web based administration, built-in backup solution, streaming capabilities etc.

Plus: it ain't too costly at all.

Cheers,
