Heya!
I'm looking for a Time Machine capable NAS-Style device. The features I'd like it to have are:

  • Time Machine
  • Network access (Local and Internet!)
  • RAID1 for extra reliability

The options I considered are:
  • Time Capsule
    With this one there shouldn't be any compatibility issues regarding TimeMachine, but from what I've heard, it doesn't support RAID.
  • Mac Mini Server
    Probably a bit overkill and expensive, but should meet all requirements.
  • 3rd party NAS
    Example: Buffalo TeraStation 3400
    A 3rd party NAS should also support everything I need, but AFAIK there were problems in the past regarding TimeMachine and 3rd party NAS solutions.
What do you experts think/recommend? Does anyone have experience with 3rd party NAS?
