It claims to have an NTFS filesystem already on it. Interfaces are eSata,
usb2 and ethernet. Question is, while I presume eSata and USB2 interfaces
will just work, how does the ethernet bit work? Will it work with an ext?
filesystem instead of NTFS? How does one go about mounting a NAS
filesystem? What about in-LAN security?
As you might guess, I'm pretty much not au fait with all things NAS...
