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.
