I believe there was an e-mail thread earlier this month regarding Windows' (in)ability to see drives larger than 2TB so you may encounter a problem there...but the best that I can recommend you is to buy 2x 2TB SATA drives from Western Digital (Caviar Green, 2TB, 32MB Cache) and put them in a RAID0 config. on a cheap D-Link 2-bay network storage enclosure. Or you can get a 4-bay enclosure and fit it with whatever size drives you desire. I believe most them of have Gigabit-ethernet ports, but you'll be hard pressed to find one that has fiber connectivity...
