Hello,
I've never created a raid array before and I wanted to get someones opinion before spending money.
I currently have 2x WD Elements 2 TB USB 2.0 Desktop External Hard Drive that are almost full of data. I want to buy two more to fit more data and now that there is a higher possibility to lose data from drive failure I want to create a raid array.
So I am thinking of buying a 4-slot raid tower and inserting in the WD hard drives after removing them from their outer shell, then setting it to RAID 5. So it will be a raid tower and 4x WD hard drives. Is this possible? Here is what I was thinking:
