Can you partition this into a RAID configuration?

Since it only has one unicorn disc, you can't configure it to RAID. You would need another separate, physical disc to have a "RAID" setup.

Depends on what you mean by RAID.Let me explain,RAID stands for Redundant array of inexpensive disks.in order to "RAID" you would need more than one drive.if you just meant partition into several virtual drives yes you can and it is quite easy. If you can give me some information on what you want to accomplish I can walk you through the process ;-)

Why would you need to do that? This is an array you would pop the bad drive out slap a new one in and it would rebuild the data on its own. The default is raid 1 but you can customize to your preference.

Yes the software allows different configurations of RAID or independent configurations. I current have 2 4tb velo drives and they are configured as two individual drives. This is accomplished by selecting flex-Raid and not X- Raid during the setup process.

yes. And it requires setting a jumper in the enclosure to which raid type you want.

This card doesn't actually do RAID (it's all done in software) so there is not really any restriction in how you can use it. For instance I used mine with 4 drives connected to this card and another to the on-board controller, for a total of 5 drives in the array.

I would strongly advise Against swapping the drives out for a DR purpose, as there is NO guarantee that you would be able to re-build the RAID on the system in the event that you lose both drives. You would be better keeping the drives singular out of RAID for that purpose, unless you are fully bringing down / rebuilding a RAID each time you swap the drives.. which gets costly / time consuming.

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

I use SHR (Synology Hybrid Raid) for ease and simplicity. Behaving fine since I booted it up. http://www.synology.com/products/spec.php?product_name=DS213%2B〈=us#p_submenu

My off-the-top-of-my-head remark is that if your RAIDing is software RAID, so the jumper in the enclosure is in the JBOD position, then yes. If you used the jumper to set RAID1 in hardware then I am doubtful, because it's difficult to know whether extra information gets written to the disks that might confuse the PC. The fact that you say "PC" suggests you mean Windows and I should add I know nothing about Windows: I use my enclosure under Linux.

Considering its a JBOD enclosure, you kinda don't. JBOD means just a bunch of drives, which states it archetecture. You might be able to do it using software RAID, but afaik there's no setting to auto raid your drives on this enclosure.

yes you can. I am currently running two of the 4 TB NAS drives from Seagate and I left the others empty. The device is scalable in that way however you will need to backup data on your current drive if you later want the added performance or redundancy of adding it to a RAID array.

yes can put any size drive in the bays that you'd like, but if you want them to be part of a raid, they have to be all of a matching gb size. I have 3 2tb drives set up as a raid, and a couple of randomly size drives as backups that aren't included in the raid. overall it's a very versatile piece of equipment.

Only if you fully backup the drive as it will have to be reformatted for RAID. You should backup anyway as you have only one drive and stand to lose all of your data.
2107966
Yes. Configuring the drives as RAID0 or JBOD will give you combined size of all drives with no redundancy presented to Windows as a single logical drive.

Yes, that is typically how a RAID controller like this is used. You shouldn't have a problem.

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
