There is a machine under Linux'om on it is necessary to lift service for data storage with enciphering. Access will be from win machines. Ideally, it would be to mount the drive as a network drive, in extreme cases, the FTP approach will go.

What is the best way to organize it and how to encrypt it?

Disk access for Windows machines and beyond is done using Samba. Of the encryption systems, I used only TrueCrypt, so I advise you to google on this topic and read here to get started.

As an option, see how it is implemented in FreeNAS, there is also pretty good disk encryption based on AES + everything is done transparently and through the web interface.

TrueCrypt is one of the options. It is also worth considering LUKS (Linux's native approach to encrypting block devices), and also encfs, if it suits the specifics of the tasks.

As an option to use LUKS, it is native, quite smart, stable.
The second option is to fumble the block device using iscsi and encrypt it in Windows using native means.
