Wow, I thought I over-analyzed things! Thank you! I ended up getting a two bay Synology with small hardrives. I used many sources to decide...yours was most thorough. I don't know if this is out of your realm for topics but how about: 1. Why do I need a nas anyway...I can just use the cloud (onedrive, google, etc)? 2. Strategies for safely preserving precious files (for home) with a nas in conjunction with a cloud subscription.
There's probably more than just two topics in these. Hope this helps you. Thanks again so much!
