Need help choosing a Readynas for Home
Hi. I'm an average++ user who know a thing or two about computers. I have 2 Macsbooks (used by family members for social networking and games), a PC laptop (which I personally use), an iPod Touch (...

And since I have an issue with having a limited budget, a 2-bay unit with 2 x 3TB will be fine since I will have redundancy + ReadyNAS Vault (or another online backup storage service), and my data will be protected
ReadyNAS Vault is probably not a good choice if you have a limited budget. 1 TB of vault storage costs $859.50 per year.
You can find more affordable on-line storage, though it requires a fast internet connection to be practical (and even then takes quite a while if you have a lot of data). It took me a couple of months to get my entire NAS uploaded (about 6 TB of data). Download would probably be about the same. I use it as my disaster recovery, and have local backup for the more usual cases.
