I've had a good experience with the ReadyNAS NV. Gives good performance
over GigE. Setup was straightforward. Good feature set.
I did have some networking issues on first setup, but it turned out to
be a problem with my router handling the 'burstiness' of the NAS
traffic. Solution actually turned out to be getting better power to the
router.
I was a bit torn between that and the DIY small box solution. I would
have liked to have the extra horsepower to give the option of running a
better performing SlimServer on the storage box. In the end, I went for
the ease of setup and am happy. I know I would have spent a good deal
of time getting the DIY box configured.
One option you might consider is going with a 3x400GB drive config.
Price should be similar. At the cost of a bit of storage today you'll
get room to grow and one less drive device to fail.
