NTFS is the proprietary file system.  CIFS/SMB is universal.  :)

Anyway, I am looking for a NAS.  If a simple USB external enclosure is all you're looking for there are numerous inexpensive alternatives out there.

I was thinking about plugging the HD directly into the IDE bus on my PC.  I'm just afraid that this device will die on me and my data (a abckup, but still) will be locked in some proprietary file system format.
