I have the TS-251+, which I admit I got because it was on offer and I was 
looking for a media centre box. It does a reasonable job of both - it gives 
me SMB and NFS support, I can ssh to it. It's got a couple of 2GB drives 
non-RAID at the moment but like you, at some point it'll acquire a couple of 
larger disks in RAID1. It's not my sole file storage, but it does provide 
yet another place to keep a copy of the photo album and music collection as 
well as having HDMI to drive the TV and stream video around.
