Hi Michael Is it essential to run the drives on the network? You'll get better performance if you use a thunderbolt external drive http://www.wdc.com/en/products/products.aspx?id=630, you can set it up as mirrored RAID for better redundancy and daisy chain two drives together if you need more storage.
There's also the thunderbolt Drobo 5D, which has space for 5 drives and will connect via thunderbolt, it's just quite expensive.
