If you are going to make a huge number of in place changes to file then CoW is inappropriate. CoW makes a copy on write so with a huge number of writes you will get a lot of fragmentation.
2) Disk encryption is encryption of the disks, whereas network communication encryption is encryption of the data in transit from one location to another e.g. backing up over the web.
2b) It does depend on what you are using it for, but you would need a more powerful NAS than if you are not using encryption.
3) I wouldn't recommend forwarding ports, but using e.g. ReadyCloud would be good.
4) The Duo only had user security.
6) You are probably looking at an old comparison sheet. When the 300 series was first released 4TB disks were the max available.
7) You can have a volume of 3x the capacity as if you were using smaller disks. You get a nice LCD screen on the front. The CPU and RAM are the same as for the 2-bay.
