I guess I didn't RTFA. I saw the first device and it used USB and after
seeing that, I didn't look any further. :)

Some of those devices look interesting.

I would guess the use nfs or maybe even ftp/ssh.

For the Triton devices.

It says "Administering the Simple NAS is done through a web based
interface by logging onto the unit via your web browser." This may mean
it is plateform independent.

The Buffalo device says "Compatible with Windows, Mac and Linux Systems"
because it uses web based administration.
