I wonder what something like the Synology DS212j uses.  It allows for
ACLs (implying ext* or NTFS under the hood); however, it has a USB
cable (implying trouble-free plugging into many different machines).

I bet if you use it on the network with the ACLs and subsequently
write from a few machines with the USB cable... the thing gets
FUBAR-ed.
