Help me go shopping- need something easy for my tech illiterate spouse.

I have 2TB WD Mycloud. Its plugged into my Google mesh network. Its very sluggish and quirky. it sucks.

I “think” I want a NAS for the following purposes:

1)back up Apple laptops automatically via timemachine

2)photo storage and backup

3)extra drive space for my wife’s MacBook Air.

  1. ill convert family VHS tapes to digital and need a place to store. and then play on my TV or phone

5)access these files from our Apple devices / Roku.

  1. I would like at least two bays to have dual backs ups I think this is RAID.

  2. potentially stop paying for my iCloud backup l

I need someone easy so I don’t have to become a full time IT guy for my wife.

I would like to be under 1k

advice is appreciated

installed a new safe-t-switch on air handler and wired in series a secondary float as well as a plastic drip pan in the return. why is this not the standard / code. cost less than $100 for 2 switches and the pan. and would have saved 10k+ in damage. Located in Florida

had a relative who’s air handler safe-t-switch did not trip when the condensate line became clogged. flooded the closet containing the Lennox air handler the water dripped into the return and damaged the floor requiring an insurance claim.
