Fast NAS adapters that work with NTFS?

debun

New Around Here
I was thinking of buying this Addonics adapter but is only supports FAT32, but it's super fast. Does anyone sell a similar device that will allow me to plug my Seagate goflex desk into and become a NAS? I have seen pogoplug but I hear that device is very slow.
 
good luck.

even full size nas devices with usb support for external drives and ntfs are not what would be considered fast.

usb2 is not all that fast for disk (try firewire or esata if you think usb2 ext drives are fast)
usb2 drives over network are even slower than a usb external drive attached to a pc
linux based nas/network to usb devices are typically very low power
linux based ntfs support is typically much slower than fat32 access

so, its unlikely your going to find something your looking for, that is also fast, or cheap.

for your goflex, your probably best of with http://www.seagate.com/www/en-us/products/network_storage/file-sharing/

but even that is subject to the above considerations
