I am in need of a network drive for my company that will store all the company files. File permissions are very important. Some files I don't want employees to access and some files I will allow access but read only. I was hoping this can be done with a simple network drive attached to something like this: http://www.tigerdirect.com/appli... but I am not sure if permissions can be set with this type of thing.

Alternatively, I was going to just buy a server with either ubuntu installed or windows 7 server.

Given my needs, what solution would you recommend?
