    Up to 750GB.. and I guess the Ethernet interface is just to connect it to a PC as a local drive?

    I guess not, NAS suppose can connect to the router so all computers in your network can access the drive.

    I have this that came with a 250G HD.
    This is kind of like a NAS that attach to your ethernet network (I connect mine directly to my home router). It requires you to install a software (MS window) to access to the drive. You need to know the NDAS number on the bottom of the drive in order to access it for security reason (I like it). You cannot see the drive if you don't have the number/password. My kids cannot see the drive on their laptop with the sw installed.

    Their older NDAS software only allows 1-write/many-read to the HD. Their latest software supposed to allow multi users read/writing to the driver at the same time.

    This comes with power supply but IDE only. It also has a USB2.0 port to be used like a regular USB HD.

    This thing works for me and I might pick up another one if the price is right.... depends on how much they charge me for shipping.

    I just received my order of this thing. Worked great with some of my old IDE hard drives. I love the passive heat sync configuration, which is kind of quite so I can place it in my bedroom. Haven't try the RAID configuration and back up feature yet, not sure if it even works. For wire connection, the file transfer speed is very fast, for wireless connection, it is kind of slow, especially with 11MB old connector. These things are from Russa, looks like sweat shop has been spreaded from south east Asia to other part of the world.
