If it's just disk performance and ability to add on space, a simple performance RAID (JBOD or RAID-0) attached internally, externally via Firewire/eSATA, or as NAS from another machine. If you're worried about a lot of files moving down the network concurrently, then you'll certainly have to look into storage load balancing that Javier recommended.
Of course, when you want to add storage space to the system, regardless of which you're using, you'll have to be aware that adding storage means you'll have to either map it to another folder or move data around (either manually or via a partition tool to expand the partition itself, which I wouldn't recommend).
