Still yet another option is a NAS. QNAP and ReadyNAS come to mind. Also 
FreeNAS/TrueNAS are possibilities, based on FreeBSD so you'd get ZFS including 
RAIDZ capability, and built-in SMART monitoring, lots of other features.  At 
least the FreeNAS/TrueNAS products are using a recent version of Netatalk for 
AFP which supports Time Machine network backups. I have tested it in a VM, 
works nicely, reasonably straightforward.

I'm seeing NAS with fast single drives or striped drives going just over 
105MB/s over gigabit ethernet. I'm not sure if these are people using jumbo 
frames or not.
