Actually any NAS should work with a Mac; you may have to use SMB to connect to it instead of AFP. Some can have netatalk turned on, enabling AFP, but that may require digging into the NAS admin console. Also, with the advent of 10.7 a whole lot of NAS boxes broke because Apple changed their SMB stack from Samba to their own codebase. I know that delayed adoption of 10.7 here by almost 6 months because our shiny new SAN didn't work with 10.7.
