RAID 1 is no big deal, and I have 1 terabyte of
I have the Netgear ReadyNAS Duo, with 2 (two) 1 terabyte Seagate
drives inside. It was a Newegg purchase of course. :)

Netgear bought out Infrant, so they are pretty well built NAS's.
Mine is hot swappable, has lockable drive trays,
That's how I bought mine, came with one 1 terabyte drive, but NewEgg

Vista. Airport Wireless N works, as does the gig ethernet.
I end up with a Core 2 Duo 3.06 gig machine with 4 gigs of DDR SDRAM
