DAS option is quicker because it connects via USB or Thunderbolt unlike 1GbE LAN (around 100MB/s). But most importantly, you don't need to remember about regular backups. All backups will be done just like Apple time machine/ time capsule. With a 2 drive system, you also get all your data to keep on two disks rather than one. This keeps your data safer.Simple NAS like DS218play would allow you to back things up and also allow you to stream locally and also remotely.If you need something future proof then DS218+ and DS718+ will allow you to upgrade RAM memory later and add extra disk. But it costs more.I hope this helps.
