Need a simple readynas

I'm new to the Netgear readyNAS systems, I haven't purchased one yet but I'm looking.

I just want a NAS that is cloud accessible, simple to use (multiple people using it), fairly reasonable on price and enough space to back up phone data and

my lenovo server i run.

I also want to take advantage of my X8 Nighthawk's ability to use port aggregation for the NAS.

Any suggestions on a model to purchase?

I'd look at the RN212, RN214 and up.

  RN300 series (and above) that were puchased after June 1 2014 have lifetime chat/email support, the RN200 series has only 90 days. So take that into account when you price out your options.
