That sounds reasonable, but it still has to reliably support NTFS.
Why?
Too many drives out there are already formatted to NTFS holding
data.
Should the NAS fall down, it would also be handy to be able to pull a
drive and place in another system and the ratio of systems that can
support ext or reiser to NTFS is very low... actually only one at the
intended site and it's not going to be fiddled with by adding drives,
it's "hands-off". More likely the drive would be put in an external
enclosure to pull some files off, which of course prevents using RAID
except 1. It'll depend on the need to constantly access that data, if
it were a one-shot file pull then an NTFS drive could just be
temporarily mounted on a windows box, but if the access need is until
the original host is *fixed*, keeping the drive tethered to a client
windows system isn't desirable. Having NTFS support doesn't mean it'd
be the only filesystem used.
I suppose one key thing to mention is that this is not a critical
system. It'll have drive redundancy but that's about as fancy as it
gets, rather the virtue will be it's versatility, including NTFS
support.
