Not really clear on what the value of the apple solution is when you can get
full fibre-channel (chasis interface and drives) from other vendors for
less.
I'd stick to the realm of NAS. And as far as nice a NAS chasis that is
esthetically accomidating enough to blend into a home environment, infrant
technologies is your best bet. Specifically the ReadyNAS NV and NV+ models.

LOL, you're on crack!
Apple? OMG, can you say overpriced? At what benefit
over something from
another NAS vendor? Why stop at 750's?
Nevermind the hardware specs, for home use you'd be
better "served"
@$6000 (or less) building your own solution with 5TB+
SATA using
off-the-shelf components & FreeNAS.
Shit, you could do separate RAID & JBOD groups using
SATA drives and
some of these new mobo's with 10+ SATA-II connectors
built into a
Coolermaster STC-T01 case. Not to mention add some
bells & whistles like
a Addonics disk array 5SA's for up to 3 groups of 5
drives, a pair of
slim DVD burners, & TV Capture card.
That's the kind of dream I have, more bang &
flexibility for my buck.
