RAID capability Does anyone know if this machine has RAID capability?

You might consider the HP MediaVault instead; which lets you set up and manage a Raid mirrored drive set easily via your PC interface and break the raid to put the copy into an Safety Deposit box. It uses inexpensive 500gb drives. I have two of them and they work great, super easy to manage compared to most NAS I have used.

Does it create a copy onto a drive which can be removed, like RAID1, so that you have a copy of everything? I want to take a disk with everything on it, remove it, and put it in a safe. I will rotate these. Does this make sense? Thanks.

It uses a new technology developed by Microsoft that is far more advanced and flexible than RAID and way less complicated. It provides duplicated data same as RAID. It may not be real-time duped but I have added large data files and it appears to begin duplicating the file before I am through copying it over to the server. In any case it was through duping in a few seconds. Unlike RAID you can add or remove any size HDD (SATA or USB) whenever you want.

Thank you very much. I will check the MediaVualt out. That sounds more like what I need.Michael.

No it does not. It has a feature called "folder duplication" which makes sure folders you identify are copied across multiple drives. Sure, it doesn't offer real-time redundancy, but it is far more simple than RAID and is easier to manage.

There is no RAID inside this adapter. Some system boards have 'fake' RAID, but you have to go waaay back to get IDE RAID, now it's mostly SATA. Unlikely but possible to still find a card that does IDE RAID, PROMISE made some. As far as I know, the 'drives' (microSDs) enumerate as 0 and 1, a and b etc. to systems. No striping or mirroring going on without outside help. The slow and wear-prone media of most microSD just doesn't make good RAID sense anyway.

Either is possible, it has two drives in it and can be used as Raid 1 or you can use them as Raid 0. From recollection it comes preconfigured to be used as Raid 0 - taking more advantage of the the thunderbolt interface.

Drives are included and although it comes pre-configured raid 0 it can be formatted raid 1

The card itself has no RAID capabilities; the HDDs are reported to BIOS and OS as independent drives. That means you can only create software RAID arrays, via the OS.

i have run dual raid 0 i have raid 10 and raid 1 i have not tryed dual raid 1 but it shold work fine

It does not but it's default bios can raid for raid1 other than that u will red to get your own or a software raid.

RAID is a method of grouping 2 or more disks to function as one. There are different types of RAID that serve different purposes. More info can be found here: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2010/08/raid-levels-tutorial/No, this does not provide RAID functionality. You need a RAID controller card or a motherboard that was this built in. This simply provides an easy means of allowing you to swap hard drives in and out of the computer...usually for use in RAID setups since most support "hot" swapping.This only fits 2.5" drives.

Not likely, RAID can be implemented is many ways. There are many variables like stripe size, parity, etc.

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

It doesn't come with any... you need to supply the hard drives. Mine has a total of 4 2TB hard drives running RAID 5 (for a total of 6GB's of storage). I supplied them myself.

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

Yes, you can configure the RAID management software to send an email in case of some kind of event. Also the controller emits a steady beep noise in case of RAID failure (I did have a drive fail on me) so if you're anywhere in the vicinity of the server, you'll know!

I setup with RAID 1, according to instruction, it also support Raid 0, 5...

No problem at all, also works on Windows Server 2012 64bit, I have it running on RAID (mirror) set.

Absolutely. For the how-to setup go to pcworld/pcmag/cnet and read the test reviews. Several magazines talked about how to use this device in a non-RAID configuration.
