I've been using a DLINK DNS323 with a single WD blue 500gb for ages and have not had any problems with it. I too have my doubts about USB on the RPi.

The only small issue with it, is that the drives have to be formatted as either ext2 or ext3, so you can't just swap them out for Windoze. It also has a max capacity of 1.5tb per bay. I tried NFS, uPnP but found smb was the best.

The latest model DNS-320 is only £52 at amazon, so couple that with 2 x green wd 3TB at £88 squid each is £228 ish and uses only 16w.

You may need to check the max capacity. Worth a look anyway. The blurb looks good and has Raid1 built in.
