+1 for the synology NAS's ... I have one at home, running just a couple of fully mirrored 3TB drives at the moment - it has a great web interface (access when away from home), great speed over gigabit lan, ok over wireless (the limitation here of course if the wireless technology not the NAS).
It backs up to an external USB drive, emails me successful backups and any concerns it has, power failures, imminent drive failures etc... also has lots of software 'packages' you can install for various tasks (anything from email server to other basic programs) that can be run from this low power always on platform.
Also has apps so you can remotely administer or access files from your iThing ... if that's of interest to you...
They're a winner for sure.
