I don't mind replacing the drives, so I'm more worried about mean time between catastrophic failures. Which, right now, seems to be about 6 mo. for me.
I've poked around some more, and may end up with a Dell PowerVault 775N. It's enterprise grade, but maxes out at 4 x 250 GB drives; with RAID 5, that gets me only 0.75 TB, but that should hold me a while. Would be nice to have the hot standby, but I think my solution may be to get a spare drive and have it available...
I did look at the Lacie NAS, as well as others by Snap and Weibe...
