    reliable single-bay NAS instead of 2-bay NAS?

    For backup how about a WD MyCloud instead of a USB3.0 HDD? It wouldn't be running often and maybe reliability would be good. Being networked, it doesn't have to live right next to the NAS.

    reliable single-bay NAS instead of 2-bay NAS?

    I want to get my first NAS. It will be used for music streaming to my SONOS system and also possibly storing pics. Video streaming may be a future option. I have no interest in RAID and plan on adding a separate USB drive for backups. Given this, is there any reason to consider a 2-bay...
