Storage solutions 4TB+ suggestions

Hi,

Hoping someone can give me a few options; Got a business running with a server 2003 domain, its a 2u server.

They need an additional 4TB of storage.
My first thought was providing an additional server with a lot of storage and just joining this to the domain. They dont even need supper fast connection to this data.

or

A storage device like a NAS or storage server. It has to be redundant also.
Any ideas?

Thanks

Ive got a HP proliant Dl380 - I might go down the NAS route but still deciding and looking at quotes.

Going toward the Netgear Ready NAS 2100. 1u rack mountable NAS unit.
Any opinions in these or any other alternatives?

Well we are now using the Netgear Ready Nas1000 4tb. AD intergration sucks! Plus everythings takes so long copying millions of files.

Anyway, thanks for any advice.
