I researched reviews, tech specs, drives for the last two years before I settled on this product.

QNAP has one of the best reputations in the industry for quality and workmanship. This has an extremely low power draw and I’ve acheived write speeds of 65 MB a second over gigabit ethernet which is far greater than USB 2.0 (roughly 25 MB a second).

This product is half the price of a TS-459 Pro+ ($900 before tax).

I bought all enterprise drives for additional reliability (WD RE4) I’m currently upgrading to Hitachi Ultrastar 3 TB drives. The new firmware (3.4) from QNAP provides support 3 TB drives. So max would be 6 TB for Raid-1, 12 TB for (JBOD, RAID 0), and somewhere inbetween for Raid 5.

Good luck and don’t forget to get a UPS to protect your data in case of a power outage!
