Hey Hoarders,

I've decided to ditch cloud storage for offsite backup due to the long-term cost. Instead, I’m looking at getting a secondary, budget-friendly NAS purely for nightly backups from my main Unraid NAS.

Right now, I’m considering:

QNAP TS-233 (2-bay)
QNAP TS-133 (1-bay)

These are the cheapest options available locally. I'm currently using an external HDD for onsite backups, so the question is:

Should I save $60 and go for the 1-bay NAS, or is a 2-bay setup essential? 🤔

I’m aiming to keep costs down unless the extra bay is a must-have.

Would love to hear your thoughts! ☺️
