Can't do RAID-5 with less than 3 drives. A 2-drive RAID Mirror protects against a single drive failure at a 100% storage space penalty (2 x 4TB drives = only 4 TB storage space). A 3-drive x 2TB each RAID-5 box gives a 4TB box with a single drive failure recovery. You can get Multi-drive RAID boxes for much less than a NAS.I'd prefer two drives for a RAID configuration. That's what I have for a NASW, two drives.

I have one of the above which backs up my 12 TB NAS

I have been a Synology user for over 20 years. I own both NAS units and a WiFi router. For e, their software makes them great. I've noticed they now sell HDDs, but I don't know if they actually manufacture them. High Quality equipment. Best of luck.
Yes, I've seen drives with "Synology" printed on them. I bet WD makes them to their specs. They should make the specs available, though.
