Hi all. I'm helping my father-in-law set up some network storage at his house, and I am looking for some recommendations.

They currently have an iMac with a 300GB drive. They want to add some capacity, and the ability to fully backup both their iMac and the new external storage. I've been looking at an enclosure like this : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822155009

I was thinking of getting a 500GB drive (for extra primary storage) and a >800GB drive (for backup). Configuring the NAS as JBOD rather than RAID, I think this will suit all their needs pretty well. We'll also get a gigabit ethernet switch to keep things moving quickly.

Any other configurations you think might be better? What should I look for in the drives themselves?

thanks,
alex
