I am far behind on coming up with a solution for my house as well, Jim. I was foolishly hopeful for some kind of SSD Thunderbolt array after they showed off TB with that type of prototype 2 years ago. I am at the point where I may hire someone to set something up that is workable and will work for my family, or at least bribe Grahame with bacon and Diet Coke so he can help me do it myself. Please post your progress and I am going to check out this Synology stuff.
