Which NAS to buy for home lab - shared storage for vSphere lab.

Hello, decided to go for a NAS box to use with my home lab so i can learn DRS, vMotion, HA. And also looking to replicate the set up at work where there are two ESXi servers connected to a SAN using HA

Got 2 NUCs set up currently but I cant decide which storage box to go for. Got around £150 to £225 (without disks) to spend and would lean toward the Synology as they have already been recommended on here.

Is it best to go for a NAS box with two NICs or will one do for my lab? Whats the benefit of having two NICs on a NAS box anyway?

One or two disks should be fine and looking at adding one or two of these:
