raid - NAS Hard drive configuration advice?

Just got a 4 bay NAS.



I want to set it up as optimal as possible.



I was thinking of getting 3 x 1TB hard drives and setting up as RAID 5.



The disk usage will probably be around 1TB max but there is scope for a bit more.



I was then going to get 1 x 2TB hard drive.




Then RSYNC a daily copy of the raid set to the 2TB.



I may also have the ability to RSYNC the data to a remote server. I know this is ideal - but may not be possible - so I don't want to fixate on that issue.



Is my setup worth doing?
Or just going with 4 x 1TB raid 5?
