Looks decent but if you have a spare, unused computer that can hold a couple hard-drives you can install FreeNAS on it and make your own NAS/Media Server so you don't have to buy the enclosure, just the drives.

My Current Build: 

Intel i5 3570K @ 4.4GHz 1.11V, Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO, Asrock Z77 Extreme4, Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz, Samsung 840 EVO 250GB, Asus GTX 760 DCII Overclocked, Corsair CX600M

The Netgear ReadyNAS 104 is a bit cheaper and has 4 bays so you can upgrade in the future and the software looks pretty good on it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822122135&ignorebbr=1

It's simple, Synology is a reputable solutions provider, and they have some of the best technical support around. Go for it.
