I've a 4-disk Buffalo Terastation 2TB unit that I inherited when I got this %job% 4 years ago. It is used in essentially the same way as what you described and has been bulletproof for the purpose.
As others have noted, the Synology units are also good and if I ever have to replace my Buffalo, I'll probably take a good long look at them as well.
