The trick is, to find one with good reviews. There are at least
100 entries under "Network Storage (NAS)" on Newegg. For $280,
this is an enclosure with room for two disks. A fan is included
for cooling. You purchase and install your own drives with this
one.

There is a NAS performance chart here. Be prepared to spend
some time picking through the "turkeys". Some of these
are quite slow, performance wise.

I find that it's best to not read the bad reviews.
