I've had good luck with my Asustor 4 bay NAS, they seem to come in priced about ~25% lower than Synology/QNAP stuff with lower powered processors. Great if you don't intend to be transcoding any media from it. My AS1004T runs Raid5 no problem so I doubt Raid1 would be an issue

 

PC:

Monolith(Laptop): CPU: i7 5700HQ GPU: GTX 980M 8GB RAM: 2x8GB 1600MHz Storage: 2x128GB Samsung 850 EVO(Raid 0) + 1TB HGST 7200RPM Model: Gigabyte P35XV4 Mouse: Razer Orochi Headset: Turtle Beach Stealth 450

 

IoT:

Router: Netgear D7000 Nighthawk

NAS: Synology DS218j, 2x 4TB Seagate Ironwolf

Any Synology J series NAS would do fine. I have a 215j myself and it works great as a time machine back-up for my Macs, general file server and NFS server for serving ISO files to my ESXi host. Only cost about $150 when I got it. Not bad at all.
