Synology DS920+

They make a range of products.  The DS920+ might be overkill for your use
case or you might want one of their much larger and more
expensive systems.   I wanted a system that scales up to a few dozen
Terabytes and was powerful enough to run multiple apps and a virtual
machine.   The reason to buy the Synology brand is because of the OS that
runs on the NAS.  It is Linux based but with a web-based user interface and
many custom apps.  The OS is rock solid, and suitable for storing a
medium-sized company's business-critical data.  Synology has a wide range
of products so you can "get in" cheap but never outgrow the system.

If all you need is basic file sharing between a few computers and you have
only a couple users a small two-bay system like the 216j is good enough.
