Should be ideal tbh mate. Although I'd buy elsewhere for a UK power adapter and a 3 year warranty though.

This, and its surprising how similar how all their products and software are

I would say always try and stretch with storage, what ever you think you'll need, you'll soon be wanting another 1 or 2 TB and be wanting to expand. It'll be cheaper to do it right first time round.

Can you remote log into that one?

Was looking at a LaCie CloudBox 9000323EK 1TB Network Attached Storage Solution
http://amazon.co.uk/dp/B009ZU3SXC

Has its own softwear to log into it away from home

Depends on the NAS box and it's features. Certainly with Synology or QNap, you can either use the built in VPN server (better option) or they offer a 'personal cloud' type setup.

If you're going to be storing anything remotely important then i'd be looking at a Raid 1 (>= 2 drive enclosure), minimum, for some form of redundancy.

surely youd only really want 2 discs for raid 1? 3 you'd be looking at raid 5
