SuB The Webmaster Sep 17, 2013 #2 There is a RAID you can run with 3 drives but I believe it's RAID 5.. I'm no expert though... Someone with more knowledge will be along shortly no doubt

tinytomlogan The Guvnor Staff member Sep 17, 2013 #5 Yeah 1 needs to be pairs really. unless it was 2x1TB and 1x2tb Oboard raid isnt all that unless its 0 and/or performance isnt required. Thats why donkey's like me have £800 stupid raid cards
