The last decision is whether to buy the NAS box and drives separately or to buy a unit with the drives already fitted. If neither mirroring nor fast access is important, go for a single bay NAS box and put in it the biggest drive you can. Why choose a unit with two or more drive bays? For one of two reasons: either so you can mirror all the data on one drive on the other with a RAID 1 set up, or so you can optimise the performance of the drives by striping them in a RAID 0 set up. For home or small office use, one or two is fine. The other big decision to make is how many drive bays you want. How about copy files directly from an SD card? If so, look for a NAS with an SD card slot. Do you want the option to add more storage? Look for a NAS with a USB port.
