Get 2x 1TB HDD and go RAID1.
This way if 1x HDD spoil your data will still be intact in the other.

the RAID 1 idea is good for data reliability, but it wouldn't give you more HDD space, is the latter what you are looking for?

As such, a single 1TB or 2TB Toshiba should be sufficient.

Yes, beside 1TB in my desktop as storage drive, I have 4x 2TB in my DS414 since Sep 2014. Ask who is the distro when buying.

External HDD = Manual Backup
RAID1 = Auto Backup.

But must understand RAID1 does not protect you from Virus and User Error.
