First off, thank you for your post. I really didn't consider it from the value perspective. This was just dumped on my desk today and I hadn't had a chance to think it through entirely. The only real value the data has to the organization is that it would cause serious problems if proper security is not met. Performance, reliability and additional functionality are all of relatively minor concern.
We are non-profit so the budget needs to be reasonably small, which is why I thought of a NAS. The more I think about it, if we can't have it authenticate against AD for a reasonable cost, we might be best to use a locked down desktop with a mirrored set.
