restlessyet, 6 months ago If this fits your budget (you still need the actuals disks…) it’s not a bad choice. Speed should be sufficient for HDDs, as it’s USB 3. As the other poster suggested, don’t use its hardware raid. Use it as a JBOD and configure the raid in Linux with ZFS or similar. And never forget: RAID is not a backup! You still need to do regular backups, at least for important data.
