Many people choose a 4bay NAS with 2 or 3 drives inside. This extra bay can be used to increase storage later on.Qnap 53D models come with faster LAN ports and can be upgraded with a 10GbE card. This can be useful when editing large files straight from the NAS.RAID5 is the most sensible option since you give away only one drive for sake of redundancy, unlike RAID1 where you give up half.Having your own cloud is cheaper and safer in a long run.I hope this helps.
