What you are looking at is a NAS (Network Attached Storage). Once on the network it like a file server. So you can create shares, add users and restrict access as you need. SmallNetBuilder has a chart comparing these units used for home use. Most of these home units are aimed at PC, but are running Linux firmware which favor the Mac's because the NAS does not need to run SAMBA.

Have you looked at the Apple Time Capsule?

It's both a wireless base station and a hard drive. Read the specs, and see if it will meet your needs.
