Um, "support" is a relative term. <G>

By default, SQLServer will not allow you to store the database files
(data or log) on non-local drives. The stated reasons for this are
performance and stability. On a local drive SQLServer can be assured
that data written to disk has truly been written, the same cannot be
said of remote drives.

However, by setting on trace flag 1807 you can bypass that check. This
is documented trace flag, but don't expect MS to spend time with you
recovering your multi-TB database stored on a buffalo tech NAS device. 

SQLServer needs 1807 seton anytime you try to write to the network file,
so your best option is to set it on as a startup flag.

Do a google on DBCC TRACEON 1807 for more info.
