It’s rather annoying to buy a NAS, then later realize you need to buy*another* NAS as a mirror in case the first one roaches itself.
Which is why, for home, I went to MicroCenter and bought, for about $30 USD, a hot swap drive bay that fits in my mid-sized tower, and a 2TB drive. Doesn't even need a sled….
That’s great if your volume fits onto a single hard disk. I use 4-5 bay NASes because I have more than 8 TiB under management, and want volume level redundancy on top of that. That means 4+ 4 TiB disks, at minimum, which means I need another like-kind NAS to backstop the first.
