A colleague recently bought one of these and a couple of 500Gb HDs

http://www.synology.com/enu/products/DS207+/index.php

and is raving about it. It is cheaper than the drobo 
(http://www.xspo.co.uk/product.php?pid=5591 though this version has 2 
bays I know) , and seems to do more (though of course that is not 
necessarily a good thing).

Would welcome comments from anyone who knows anything about them before 
I put my hand in my pocket.
