NAS needed but with certain requirements

I wouldn't plug the other drive into the NAS. Why not? Well, if the NAS gets hit with a big enough power surge (or possibly power supply failure) it could fry both internal disks plus anything connected via USB. Not normally an issue, but if it's a business-critical backup, you have to think of these things.
