Oh, no I've checked. Their RAID 5 in their NAS is always on RE drives. Almost triple the cost of Red drives.
ohhh.. huh, interesting... well in that case then.. is the device a 3 drive device they are pushing people toward? or a 4 drive?
They sell a four drive, RAID 5 device. The problem is, that to defend that product they go out and try to tell the world that RAID 5 is just fine and that all of the concern is made up. They put people at risk trying to cover for selling a crappy NAS device.
Other than pushing toward RAID 5, what makes the device crappy?
It's fine, just a very entry level device. Not bad like QNAP, for example. It's much more limited than it's competition, though. Everything it is up against has configurable drives and RAID. It does not.
you can't configure the RAID level? if that's the case, yep, that's a NEVER buy device.

That's the whole point, it's a RAID 5 device only.

Aww.. well - yep, crazy stupid device.
Wait - if you only put SSDs in there, then it's probably usable, but still - crazy stupid device.

You can try that. It's not a device that officially allows you to change the drives, though.

Oh yes, pre-pop only.

Because you can?
because we can waste our time? I guess.

We're not wasting time. We're waiting for replies to other important topics.
