I was wondering, too. I have a Synology NAS to store all the review data. It's been absolutely reliable so far.
However, it's a NAS, not DAS. But if you plan to attach a DAS to a Pi, why not go directly the NAS route?
Personally, I also would always prefer any kind of RAID setup over a single drive. It's RAID 1 here in the NAS, plus an additional copy at a different (physical) location.
For Time Machine Backups, however, a NAS is not a good choice, IMO. Even a fast NAS on a fast network will always be a lot slower than DAS.
