    NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Network Appliance Inc. doubled Wall Street's earnings expectations for the data storage device company but still saw its profit, excluding special items, fall from year-earlier levels.

    The Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company earned $15.5 million, or 4 cents a share, excluding special items and amortization of goodwill, for the fiscal third quarter which ended Jan. 25. That's better than the earnings per share forecast of 2 cents by analysts surveyed by earnings tracker First Call, but down from the $38.9 million, or 11 cents a share, earned a year earlier.
