I'm currently using Ximeta NDAS on a home network with (2) Vista
Ultimate x64 boxes, along with a string of XP Pro (32bit)
laptops/desktops....7 total.

You can purchase multiple NDAS enclosures (each holds 1 drive) and use
the BIND software to make Raid0 or Raid1 arrays.

Performance kicks butt and it's an easy setup. However...it's not
robust like using quotas, user rights, no Raid5 but it also isn't IP
accessible which means no hackers. They would have to get through your
PC firewall to access the NDAS device.

Anyway for a working cheap Vista x64 solution, this works.
