      ReadyNAS and Synology, two bay units. Diskless, add your own disks.

            You can add Backblaze for cloud backups.

              yeah. I am wondering if a RAID 1 is sufficient or if I should also do backups. I dont want to be involved in troubleshooting anything on a regular basis.

                Not a bad price, but How has your experience been with Buffalo?

                  I have one. I haven't had any issues with it, and performance is pretty good. I can pull over 50 Mb/s on average.

                    I actually just bought the 12TB model so not sure yet. It’s been a while since I bought Buffalo. I have bought them in the past and they have faired well.

                      @irj yeah that should be fine but what happens if the house burns down.

                      It's all about risk etc. But I would be happy with just raid1

                          I concur with ReadyNAS or Synology recommendations. Buffalo Terastations have been hit and miss, not sure that I trust it any longer.

                            I've heard mixed reviews about Buffalo terrastations which is why I asked.

                              It is always hit and miss.

                                If you want to lower risk, look at the Synology-based IOsafe devices. Able to live through a fire and flood. Still just a Synology, but like a Synology is a fire proof safe.

                                  Definitely out of the consumer price range for any RAID 1 NAS, although I find it odd that they have iosafe Solo units. I would think the risk of a hard drive failing is much more likely than fire or flooding.

                                    Sure, but perhaps it's a sync'ed NAS...
                                    so you can wind up with a situation where you're more worried about fire than disk failure.
