Digital BW, The Print

You might want to consider an NAS system like the Buffalo Technology  
TerraStation.
See http://www.buffalotech.com/products/product-detail.php?productid=97
I just got one for about $750 which is more than the single drives you are  
looking at. The advantage is that this unit has 4 ea. of 250G drives which  
if you configure as Raid 5 you end up with 750G of safe storage. You can  
also access it from any computer on your network, if you have more than  
one. Set up properly it can also be accessed from the internet. The main  
disadvantage, other than cost, is that it is slower than a directly  
attached ecternal drive. It is great for backuping up your data but not  
for working on that data directly on the NAS system.
