Put them together easily at home. We recommend JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks – spanning) because if one drive fails, you’ll still have the data on the other – and the speed of RAID 0 won’t help because of other bottlenecks in the system. But don’t worry, the system is plenty fast to play HD Movies to numerous computers/set top boxes at the same time. It is also an FTP server and iTunes music server built-in. For those with irreplaceable data, of course mirroring is your best bet but cuts the capacity in half. Remember, this is a low cost way to have tons of data avaialble to you at home. It is by no means a corporate data solution.
