Cheap NAS

Why not just use a Thunderbolt drive served out of your iMac (which I am assuming you have since you are in the iMac thread). You could just upgrade to Server at the same time.

Have you considered a 2 bay Synology?
Excellent all round NAS that will do everything you need from a AS unit, and more!
It's very easy to set up and use (lots of videos on my youtube channel) and you'll be able to not only share data but also create user home folders, and so on. Completely expandable as well for the future.

Dont buy POGO stuff! I bought one if there NAS drives and the software almost never worked, the apple talk(now called AFP or some such) never worked for Time Machine backups and the software wouldnt uninstall after i got my refund. Stay away from pogo
+1 for the Synology. I've got a 2 bay running as RAID1, I'm really happy with it. The software's excellent and it's really easy to setup.

Hard to beat the cost of something like a WD My Book Live . I saw the 2 TB versions at Costco for US$129 around back to school and they usually go for US$149.
