I've heard good things from Drobo's too (very similar to the ReadyNAS).

I've had it for a couple of years now and it's worked essentially flawlessly. I used to use it as a backup web server so that I didn't have to take my page down when doing maintenance, before I went with a more database intensive site build.

It can do drive mirroring, but I prefer to use it as two separate 2TB backup spaces. It isn't what I would call blindingly fast, or anything, but it's an excellent solution for scheduled backups when combined with a piece of software like DirSync.

One of my co-workers has a Drobo unit and is very pleased with it. I considered one, but my previous Synology experience swayed my decision.

A five bay DROBO filled with WD Green 2TB spindles is my next computer related purchase.
