Can anyone recommend a NAS external drive

Hi,

I'm looking to get at NAS external drive and I've seen a few.

The features that are really important to me are:

Time machine compatibility
iTunes server built-in. I would of gone for time capsule except it doesn't support itunes server - i take it that it's still the case regarding time capsule.
Support for media streamer/transcoder such as twonky media server for streaming to a dlna receiver.

The most promising drive I've seen is the western digital my book world edition II.

Has anyone has use the my book or can you recommend something similar.

Thanks
