8-bay NAS backup. Use 1 or 2 drives for redundancy? (zerobytes.monster)

I was recently gifted a Synology DS1817+ (8-bays) (Atom CPU).

I am currently running a Synology DS1019+ (16 TBx5) (celeron CPU) (SHR1) (Plex server) w/ DX517 (18 TBx5) (SHR1). I also have an old QNAP (10 TBx4) (Atom CPU) (RAID-5). Data is currently backed up from DS1019 to the DX517 and QNAP. All are on a UPS.

I plan on using the DS1019 & DX517 as the primary, and the DS1817 & QNAP for backup. I'm ordering 18 TB drives for the DS1019, and using the 5x16 TBs plus 3x14 TBs for the DS1817.

If the 8-bay was my primary, I'd do 2 without hesitation. But it's going to be the backup because it's older and slower.

So what's the verdict, 1 or 2?
