Any suggestions? Freecom do a couple that are reasonably priced.

Looks good, but whats the advantage of this as compared to say, a one box
solution. Unless I'm mistaken, I still need to buy an external hard drive
for this.

You're not mistaken.

You could see the ability to connect any drive as an advantage. Just
add whatever size you want, or what's cheap at the time. Easily
replaceable if the drive fails as well.

I got one of these because I already had 2 500Gb USB drives I wanted
to re-use. If you're starting from a clean slate, then maybe
something like http://www.lacie.com/uk/products/product.htm?pid=10994
might be a better bet, or

If you don't mind spending a few quid then

is the puppy to have.
