After all the help I received in the last thread on server/cloud storage solutions I decided to with the NAS option.
I was pretty sure I wanted to go 3TB WD Red drives for my NAS but then I found some posts that made me question that decision ...

Western Digital Red 3 TB (WDC WD30EFRX) 3TB 0.9 years life span and 12.87% failure rate annually ...
After I saw that it made me instantly question my choice.
From looking around I have found that pretty much this is what people seem to agree on ...
Always Hitachi if price is no object, Seagate because the bang-for-the-buck of the 4TB drives is hard to beat (but keep an eye on them, especially as they get older), and WD Reds for the best overall balance of price/reliability.
