although I answered on FB... you can use a Pi for soooo much. A lot of SOHO NAS/SAN actually are running a modified version of Linux.
Now, do not format the drives as NTFS. That's a massive overhead for the little cpu in the Pi. If you happy with them staying local, then just use ext3/4.
Was going to suggest FreeNAS but no BSD been ported to Pi. There's also http://www.openmediavault.org/ by the guy who wrote FreeNAS. No idea if that works on the Pi.
Basically, you can do it! :)
