Any hard drive will do - PATA or SATA all depends onthe PC it is installed into then share it... There are no specific network hard drives...

There are devices called NAS (network access storage) like Snap servers. Apparently everyone is getting into the act now. »www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=ne···+storage

There are devices from Dlink and Linksys that for under $100 can connect USB 2.0 drives to a network. Western Digital or Buffalo have network drives starting under $200.

I've got a Linksys NSLU2

I've not had a lot of luck with it, it tends to lock up if you try to FTP a file larger than 1gb from it

just as a straight shared drive tho, it works not bad
also a decent sized 3rd party development community behind it

Here is one:

If you already have a spare hard drive you could just buy this and put it in it.
