I'm looking for a fast 2 disk NAS to use for daily backups off a SAN.
Requirements:
I will be putting this at an off-site location so I need something reliable that won't lockup.
I want a two disk setup to cut down on MTBF. It would be long drive to replace a HDD.
I want to run a RAID 1 and have at least 1TB of usable space.
I don't want to spend more than about $800 as this will be "temporary" (about a year or so).
Speed is important.
So far the best candidate I've found is the Synology DS209+. It's the fastest NAS I've found in my price range.

I figured I'd get that and add a couple WD RE3 drives to it and I'd hit my budget of $800.
I'm looking for input from you guys. Anyone have this Synology? Or do you have a better candidate?
Thanks.
