Not around here, USB2 is theoretically capable of 480Mbit/s whereas my

My USB enclosure for IDE drives run at ca: 30MB/s (so ca: 50% of USB2 bandwidth)> However - that is why them attached to a "normal" PC. If I attach the same drives to my Asus Wl-500g I get considerably less (I forget what, but 6MB/s rings a bell).

So, on any small system (A NSLU2 may be the same) you'll be limited by how quickly it can move data over its I/O bus anyway. This is why "real" NAS systems cost more.
