Yes, Celeron based models such as 53D series would be a minimum requirement for snapshot functionality. They are also fairly fast and are capable of delivering 2.5 and 5GbE speeds when equipped. Choosing between RAID1 and RAID5 is often a problem. Mirroring is good as long as possible. But with a 2 bay unit, it sounds like a waste. Having a mirror in a 4 bays makes more sense. And when time to expand comes you simply can upgrade to RAID5.Best drives for this model would be WD Red Plus, they seem to be more quite. But if you like a free data recovery then Ironwolf drives.I hope this helps.
