Does the WD NetCenter (CIFS) work with XBMC?

[Velvis]

I am looking for a NAS solution that will work with XBMC. I did a search and the closest info I could find is that CIFS is the new name form SMB, so I think it might work with XBMC. Does anyone know for sure?

The drive info is here:

Hi Velvis,

I'm using exactly the 500mb version with newest firmware for 6 weeks now. Works like a charm.

Hey thanks for the quick reply.
Im planning on getting the 250, is the new firmware a neccesity? and is it available for the 250?
