Do they? I don't think egress/ingress from external drives is an essential feature for consumer-grade NAS.

Internal drives are typically formatted with a Linux-native filesystem and accessed through SMB/Samba from Windows machines.

Is it not? I think most consumer NASes on the market support NTFS-formatted external drives (be that USB or eSATA) and need a r/w capable driver.
