[QUOTE="funkstar, post: 306900, member: 14311"] Personally i would use RAID-5. RAID isn't a substitute for a backup, but it would be very annoying to loose all your data if one of the 5 drives failed in a RAID-0 or JBOD setup. That enclosure is literally just that, an enclosure, the drives would appear to windows as 5 seperate drives as though they were plugged into a motherboad and housed internally to the PC. The spces don't say if the software controlling RAID/JBOD can handle online capacity expansion or RAID level migration, so I have no idea if you can start with a couple of drives and then add more later. How much is this setup do you know? Have you looked at how this compares to a 5 drive NAS box? i presume this would be cheaper due to it being a lot less sofisticated, but they difference might not be that huge. Worth looking inot if you ask me. [/QUOTE]
