External Network Drive: tP User recommendations...?

[theMusicMan]

Hey All

I am in need of a new external hard drive, but I want one that is Ethernet compatible i.e. I can connect to my router and access from any machine on my home network.

I have two external drives - one is USB2 and one is Firewire - both are very good.

As I don't own a networked drive, I am wondering if anyone here has purchased one and can recommend which to go for.

Some great offers on eBay: this one (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BRAND-NEW-External-USB-Network-500GB-NAS-Hard-Drive_W0QQitemZ290153887530QQihZ019QQcategoryZ1617 8QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem), a 500GB drive for just £78.

Any advice...?

A friend of mine had some Netgear external drivers and was happy with them, maybe you could inquire about those as well :)
