Like so many problems in life, this one was solved by throwing a bunch
of money at it.

I bought this:

The WD MyBook World Edition 2TB. It connects to your LAN and
automatically sets up shares that can be accessed by the media browser
on your PS3 or XBox, which is what I was doing before with my
computer, Mediatomb, and my big external drive.

It has a USB expansion port, so I can plug my old drive into it and
easily copy over all of my files.

Also, apparently it runs BusyBox, so you can even connect to it by SSH.
