I really don't think you will find exactly what you are looking for in a
consumer grade appliance. One solution for a "network storage" device
would be Iscsi, scsi commands over ethernet, but I think this puts your
$ into the couple of zeros range. I saw recently a rack mounted storage
system that uses PATA drives. Google search "PATA over ethernet". These
would be true "networked" storage. 

Another thing would be to build a system yourself with mini-itx or nano-
itx motherboards. This is the route I will take soon, If I cannot find a
better solution.

I guess this is a area not used much by consumers. but would make for a
good business concept.

&gt; 
&gt; I want it for running backups from a couple Linux machines over a 
&gt; network...however, none of these devices says anything about how it works, 
&gt; just that they &quot;appear as a drive on each computer on the network&quot; 
&gt; 
&gt; Fine if you're running Windows, but what about Linux boxes? Does anyone know 
&gt; of a solution like this that will let me run backups onto a drive over the 
&gt; network when I'm running Linux? I'd prefer not to set up Samba just to talk 
&gt; Windows-speak to one of these devices.
