Here are the NAS systems we recommend based on your answers:
NAS Recommendation
The TerraMaster is a 2-bay version of the 5-bay model that I use (F5-221 – review here). The step-up Synology is good if you are thinking about expanding in the future. You can add drives and capacity with their DX517 expansion unit.
