Default A good Network Storage Device?

I currently have the Netgear SC101 network storage device that has 2 (500GB) drives. Well the device died and I can not access my data. The box uses a different filing system then windows. Now I am in the market for a new network capable drives. Here is the features I am looking for

1. Most important. Be able to pull the drive out of the housing and plug it directly into a pc and be able to read and access the data. So the filing system would have to be NTSF.

2. Takes IDE Drives. Will consider SATA drives

3. Ethernet connection

Not sure why you would want to pull the drives out and put them in a computer...

I use the D-Link DNS-323 in my network. it has two 500 Gig Seagate SATA drives running in RAID1. It has been running 24x7 since beginning of January without a SINGLE hitch.

Well the reason I want that capability to pull them out and out into a pc is because just in case the enclosure goes bad. I want to be able to access the drives.
