USB or Network HD for backup - WD Personal Cloud Storage

I use older ReadyNAS for on-site backup, so I haven't looked into these drives.
I like the idea though, it seems to me that it is better to do your backup to a device that isn't directly connected to the NAS (it seems to me that it reduces the risk that a PSU failures or power surge/outage on the NAS would trash the backup drive).
