Is there still no good, cheap, out-of-the-box ready NAS-enabling devices?

Like the Linksys Slug, but something that works straight out of the box without all the hacking etc

I tried to set up an NSLU-2 but i ran out of patience, anything that actually works?

How about the Draytek routers with USB ports?

Replace your existing router with one that is likely to be much better and get a NAS device in the process. Less mess and clutter too.

I looked those up as i've never heard of them until now, they're wired routers appear to start at ~£80 so the cost is too much for me. Neat products, but im also quite happy with the o2 router's performance.

I'm thinking of a sub-£50 device like the Linksys but one that'll work properly from the get-go
