  After weeks of begging to get a nice big NAS at work, I ordered a new 4TB Seagate BlackArmor 220. It’s the perfect solution to a problem that I’ve been working through for a couple years.

  Of course, as soon as I received it, I found out that the latest update to OS X breaks compatibility with all NAS devices that use Samba as a protocol. (according to Seagate) There seems to be a problem with OS X’s use of extended attributes on some files.

  Do any of you use NAS boxes with Macs? Let’s hope Apple issues a fix for this soon. I only have 30 days to figure out if I need to return this NAS for a refund.
