Does it support RAID 0?

yes, RAID 0RAID 0 comprises striping (but neither parity nor mirroring). This level provides no data redundancy nor fault tolerance, but improves performance through parallelism of read and write operations across multiple drives. RAID 0 has no error detection mechanism, so the failure of one disk causes the loss of all data on the array.[9]

In the past RAID has been a hardware supported function. I don't use this in a RAID setup as I only have two drives in it so far. You should view this as four separate USB to SATA bridges. Any RAID function you want to use will have to be 100% software implemented.

I am about to install a 6TB drive so I will let you know if I am successful but according to intel, it should be fine. The support of your HDD depends on the RAID card. This is a RAID expander and is only meant to extend an existing RAID controllers capacity of HDDs. This does not create a RAID array.UPDATE: I have installed my 6TB WD Red HDD and have no issues. Simply plugged it in, turned on my server, and it showed up in my OS (Linux Mint 17.1) without any issues. No configuration needed. Just plug and play.

One would have to wonder why it is listed under RAID controllers if it does not support RAID.

Yes, This drive will run fine in a RAID 0,1,5 setups. I have tested in all three formats and currently run 1 setup in a RAID 1 and a 2 setups in RAID 5's.

You probably mean RAID 0 because RAID 1 is mirroring. I had it configured as RAID 10, it worked for a while until it failed but not because it was part RAID configuration.

Yes it comes with both drives, and yes it supports RAID 0 or 1. I use RAID 1 with my iMac.

If you are hooking this up to the Super RAID 2 board (3 slots) then check with the MSI website, there is a list of drives that work with their RAID boards.

Unfortunately no. It only has e-Sata connections on the back. So you have to run it through the raid controller card.

This is diskless - just be sure to get HD's that are made for NAS (Seegate ST4000VN000, WD WD40EFRX, etc) do not use energy savers or spin down disks, it will cause havoc on your RAID integrity. So plz do read what drives are supported and are recommended. I put the ST4000VN000, in all of my devices, works great.

Yes. A quick look at the specifications page for the DS212J http://www.synology.com/products/spec.php?product_name=DS212j〈=us#p_submenushows this: Supported RAID Type Synology Hybrid RAID Basic JBOD RAID 0 RAID 1

RAID 0,1 and SHR (Synology Hybrid Raid). With only 2 drives you can't get 5.

It should work as RAID set, if you do not need to see multiple drives, but if you want USB3.0 adapter support port multiplier protocol, look for "U3eSATA" in AMAZON

No. You can use the built in "software RAID" that windows 7/2008 etc provide. But the card itself doesn't contain RAID. It's strictly a card for adding SATA ports. So, if your motherboard supports RAID, there isn't a reason for this card unless you just need additional SATA ports, or if you need a card that provides faster SATA connections than what your motherboard supports.

It is RAID 0 which is what MSI calls "Super RAID 2" when they are using 3 SSD's in RAID 0. There is really no such thing as "RAID 2"

I sincerely sorry to tell you this item could not support RAID.Also it could support USB 3.0 Host and can be used for your main storage.

RAID 1 will mirror your disks for backup/redundancy that you want. There are different levels of RAID. RAID 0 WONT do what you want. So make sure you setup RAID 1 for this.
