Network Hard Drive

I'm currently in the market for a network hard drive that I can plug into my LAN switch.
However I have one requirement: it must be possible to access this remotely by way of a mapped drive on the remote computer.
My router supports port forwarding and I have a static IP, so just need to find one where the device supports this.
Ideally I'd prefer a caddy that I can put my own hard drive into, however a build-in drive would be ok. I only need about 100gb, but may need to upgrade at some point.
Can anyone recommend any particular brands/models?

Do you really want to open access up to the world?!!

I don't know of any that allow you to map the drive in the way in which you mention. Plenty allow for the drive to be accessed remotely such as synology or a WHS based solution but this is normally web based.0

Buffalo linkstation allows that, and if i recall you can access it either via their site or on your own router if you have a static address.
