I think you really need to take a look at what you're buying it for. If you just need some extra storage for backups then Jason or David's suggestions are very good. You can spend quite a bit of money on NAS devices however that have all the RAID built in with high bandwidth iops too.
I bought a simple NAS box at home for backup purposes and it will not read/write data faster than 20Mb. For personal backup purposes I don't really care, for high availability on your network with live data that's not going to cut it.
