I've been watching all the great replies to my question. This is what I have come up with:
storage: Mediasonic 8-bay hard drive enclosure with USB-3 and eSATA with four to eight 3-4 TB hard drives installed http://www.amazon.com/Mediasonic-H82-SU3S2-ProBox-External-Enclosure/dp/B005GYDMYG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1387724400&sr=8-2&keywords=mediasonic backup: either a unit identical to above or use the USB-3 or eSATA port to backup incrementally to a single external USB-3/eSATA hard drive dock I like using the single hard drive dock as backup because I can keep the backups off-site more easily. The Mediasonic unit with a bunch of hard drives looks to be one of the cheaper options for my situation. If you have further comments or suggestions, let me know. Happy Holidazed.
