I have a 5 bay 1512+ with 5 x 3TB drives (gives ~10TB after raid6 (2 drives can fail and I wont lose data) and am very very happy with it, if I need more storage then I can just add another 5 bay extension box...not that I'll likely need to...

Sorry, I have ordered the Netgear ReadyNAS 102. I was recommended the Duo V2 but found that the 102 was the newest version and cheaper. Paid £105 on Amazon.

There are so many and if I'm brutally honest, I am on a tight budget! The reviews look pretty good for the 102 along with the ReadyCloud, looks an interesting piece if kit which I'm keen to have a play with.

I plan to run it on RAID 1 so the drives are mirrored. Thank you for the suggestion I'll keep that in mind if I ever need a replacement.
