I’m looking for opinions regarding a home #NAS (which I plan to setup):

Independently from the manufacturer: do I really need > 2 disks (in other words more than RAID 1) for a home NAS?
Sure, the more the better obviously. But balancing the safety / redundancy with the device prices and the energy consumption, I doubt the larger devices are needed for this use case.

Well, that mainly depends on your use-case. I started with a 1-bay, added a 2-bay, replaced both with a desktop 8-bay and replaced that with a rack 12-bay. Went from no raid, to raid 0, to raid 5 to now raid 6. Wouldn't want to miss the extra layer anymore.
