    I want to go for a 4 bay one, so that I’ll survive a disk failure. And then you’re looking at about 2000 Euro for the NAS and four drives.

        RAID1 is nice, but you lose 50% of your total capacity to the mirroring. I want to go with 4 drives and RAID5. I only give up 1 drive of capacity and can still lose one without losing data. If I invest money into this I don’t want to compromise too much, as it needs to last for years.
