I have been following this thread with interest, I followed this path for about 2 years buying external cases and putting bigger drives in when they became affordable! You can get the 1tb drives for about $360 and then buy what ever case you like.
But: I decided to buy a raid this year. I purchased an intel 4 bay sata raid case and then put my drives into that, currently 2tb across 4 drives in raid 5 format. So my total usable space is just on 1.4tb. The case has 2 1000 ethernet ports. There are now many solutions available from other companies and cheaper than what I paid. I found this was ideal for my data security if one drive fails I just replace it and the data rebuilds automatically. Of course the upfront cost is higher but it depends on how important your data is. Hope this is of interest.
