A NAS server for my home
JavaJones:
No specific product recommendations from me, but a few warnings. 1: I've had bad luck with Seagate external drives, but good luck with Western Digital. 2: Bad luck with a Lacie RAID-in-a-box device. Multiple drive failure, poor support.
Just my 2 cents, anecdotal evidence at best.

Thank you all for your input.
I prefer the idea of a having my own harddrives solution rather than the idea of PogoPlug (but isn't that a cunning solution?).
Another consideration I have is power consumption, I don't want to have something that chews up power!
The next problem I have is how to convince my wife that I need to buy one ;)

I bought my Synology a couple of years ago now: Synology DS207+ NAS and have had no problems with it or the Seagate drives; in fact I'm pretty happy with it!
I was concerned with wasting power too, and I set it up to shut down overnight.
Convincing my wife was easy, it's set up as a RAID1 and is an important part of my backup strategy.
