Sory, missed the Mac in the title, so you must have a spare mac laying around.... but if you don't, consider the synology.

The Synology would be a great way to go for what you need. Newegg has the DS110j for $149. Add a 1TB drive for around $50, and you have a robust, easy to manage solution for $200.

Synology has an online live demo of their software to manage the NAS. (username=admin, password=synology). After you login, click on Control Panel. Setting up shares, users and groups is handled there. It is very simple to operate.
