I'm planning on setting up a NAS at my home. I was thinking about getting a Synology DS223j for something basic, but for about the same price I could have a N100 Mini PC and USB HDD enclosure. Way more power with not much more power consumption.

I'm only going to have 2x4TB Drives in RAID 1 in the enclosure. If I throw a 6TB external drive on the Mini PC too and schedule it to backup the drives from the RAID enclosure is there really anything that can go wrong? Is the main concern going to be data is lost via the USB interface itself?
