It might be lots of money or it might not be. Software mirrored
SATA drives or a 3ware raid will serve a small/medium office nicely
(for some definition of small/medium).  So it becomes 2 dollars.
Google stores 2 gigs for free...

Regardless, it shouldn't be a software limitation, especially
after years of painful experience with 2GB limits lurking in
on piece of software or another long after the OS claimed to
have fixed that.
