On the other hand I fear it's not a nice enough setup but the budget would add up to go bigger. Reason being I saw on YouTube where a guy had a 4 bay Synology, with twice the storage amount he needed, and his logic was if he only used half the capacity, he could lose two drives in a freak event and still would have the cross-stored safety to salvage half the total capacity of the drives. Not sure how the tech works but that was what I gathered.
Would 2 bay setup be an upgrade or not worth it unless going bigger? Data read write speed would certainly be a plus factor as well as home cloud server stuff I sort of understand that Synology makes possible.
Personally, I have Synology 8 bays with raid 6. If you go with SHR 2 (doesn't have to be the same size drives) you can get different size drives,but performance suffers a bit when accessing. Please see Synology Raid calculator [synology.com] for sizing.

Storage is cheap and I only upgrade my NAS once every 10 years. First world problems. Set it and forget it...
All of this depends on how important this files are. If it's just ripped or downloaded movies I could care less if lost. But family pics and videos are not something I'd take risk with and rather spend the money to protect them now than to pay shit load of money for data recovery services.
Might eventually get a NAS, but the cost is a bit too high for me right now. I'm fine doing manual backups for now.
It's mostly videos, nothing really important. I backed up music,games, and harder to get stuff already. Only about 10% of my stuff is essential, the videos/games can be re-downloaded.

Should 8 tb of this vs 1tb from bestbuy that I got. Purpose is for Nas storage. Never have done shocking of drive before so not sure how hard 14tb one will be to shuck.
