My router with drives and printer is in the utility room where my main drops come in.

It's also where the litter boxes are located, no one is going in there

Not a big deal to mount the share when you need it.

Can probably even roll a little Applescript to do it automagically for you.

There is always the uber pricey Airport Time Capsule option, comes with a 2 or 3 TB drive installed.
