Currently at work I need to replace our backups. Right now we are using 3 usb hard drives, two are connected with one that we swap out back and forth. Now either I just purchase 3 new usb hard drives or esata hard drives or build them or whatever, the other thing I was thinking was maybe two hot swap drive bays or something like thisthis Network Storage box. I have personally have never used either of these products so I was just hoping for some suggestions or something completely different.

For someone that is going to ask about the computer setup it is 3 computers on a gigabit switch with one of the computers being the server. They all run windows 7 64 bit and the server backs up small portions on the daily usb a couple of times a day and the weekly usb backs up everything once a week.
 
I like my Read Nas DUO that way no PC connection required. It also does more than just store files too. (And if you want you can even hook up a USB HD too)

I would NEVER own another external USB hd with eSATA so common now, but or a 3 PC workstation go with a NAS.
 
Does the nas have to be in a raid array or can it be read as two separate drives?

I have the thing up and running and it was easy other than it was grabbing one of my workstations static IP, but now I just need to setup the print server portion.
