Kevin, NAS is also available in larger units, I've seen them up to 10 dries. As for raid 0 and 1, that's fine, but if you only have 2 drives, my suggestion would be to mirror the drives so that you have a backup of data on the drive.

It's essentially a hard drive case for two drives with an Ethernet jack on the back. Data is sent via Ethernet protocols to the drives. This allows the drive to sit in a corner, connected to a router and accessible over a network. My box will allow me to format the drives as JBOD (just a bunch of disks), as RAID 0 or RAID 1. I'm wondering whether Time Machine will recognize this as a valid backup drive or if it only works with something connected to a USB or Firewire port.
