Yes, choosing a 2-bay model will eventually mean a stressful time to move all data to a bigger NAS. Having a 4-bay will allow you to start with just two or three drives and will let you add another drive later when you need to. RAID5 will protect your data against one drive failure. Choosing a Qnap ts-453Be is a very future proof decision. It is a very capable model which will cope with future updates for a long time. But if you needed something cheaper then DS418 or even DS420j would be a much slower NAS option but would also easily cope with automated backups for your computers and mobile devices, and of course, serve as a network drive for easy multimedia and file access.I hope this helps.
