You won't have the RAID. only the drives you got. Share them on the network. if you want you can add controller to add more HDDs for back up. This way it is more simple and if one HDD will go bad, and it won't just simply die. you will recover most of the data anyway, compared to raid where you lose everything. To Doug.

The problem with these data storage servers is that they may have two or more RAID drives that provide duplicate copies of the data but once the firmware crashes, the RAID drives are useless. Contrary to what you might expect, you can NOT just remove the RAID drive and install it in a new storage server unit to access the data. Recovery of the data off the RAID drives is very difficult if not impossible. Does anyone know of any NAS storage servers that allow you to remove the RAID drives if the firmare crashes and use the old RAID drive in a new unit?

The question is how will this affect privacy of data in a multi-user accessed storage device? How convenient NAS has made multi-user sharing of storage.
