MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Following on from this thread http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/nas-recommendations
If I was to buy one of the [url= http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FWURI8K ]Synology enclosures[/url] (or similar) and bunged 2 disks in it could I see them as separate volumes (disks in OS X)?
And if so, could I use 1 for time machine and 1 as a simple file server?

bump for the daytime crowd
I'm guessing it will depend on how you format the drives. If you make them part of the same RAID set then they will be a single volume across two drives but if you format them as seperate drives then they should be visible as seperate drives.
You may find it easier to format them as a single volume across both drives and then use the user quota function to limit how much space your time machine can use from the disks. That's how I have mine setup and it works a treat.
Find a NAS which supports NFS - works wonders with OSX.

Another tick for synology

Makes sense
The synology will support NFS.
