Cheapest method may be a seperate PC with a SATA interface card and several hard drives. I'd format the drives in JBOD for simplicity. We've had good luck with the 3Ware 8506-12 product. It can interface to 12 SATA disks. Fill it with 400GB drives and you have 4.8 TB. An older PC will be fast enough as long as it can handle the card. It's a good excuse to upgrade the main system, also.
