Mybook world
I use the maxtor mybook world, 1TB bought it for 169$, can be had for about the same today.
It allows remote access (through pay plan or third party hacking) and remote automation. I haven't had ANY problems, and the reported speed problems, I haven't really seen. I can transfer 7GB of data in about 10 minutes, which is fine with me on the 1000MB LAN.
I also use iomegas storcenter products, they continue to run nicely. I haven't sunk any money YET into a DROBO or MSFT HomeServer (although, I DO run the software on one of my pc's) but might in the future. With 4TB of current local storage and 100GB of remote, I'm pretty set as it is.
