build your own NAS server? 750gb drives are cheap,l you can build a 1.5TB scalable to 9TB Usable NAS for 3k to start, and then just add drives and expand the array as it grows.. Built a 11tb nas for 9k for a medical engineering company few months ago. its a solid solution.

Supermicro makes a 15bay SATA 3u chassis, get a external drive bay for a mirrored OS and then 15x 750 for the storage partition..

contact me on icq and i'll show you the parts to get to build it.
