Yes Rich but that Raidlike means that you still have the same specs as a standard raid.
Look at the drive configurator on the link you posted. Put in two 500G drives check the outcome and then put in a 350G and a 500G drive and check the outcome again. Thats the same as a Raid 1 config.
The one disk data redundancy is just the software partitioning one disk in two and sets these partitions in a Raid1. If the disk then breaks/crashes there will be no data left.
It is great that they build a box and wrote some software that configures the raid for you but i think for me it’s a bit on the pricy side for me. With a raid 6 controller you can build a cheaper and an even as good system. And yes it’s not easy but it’s a real nice challenge 🙂
And also good to keep in mind that there is no swapping disks for reasons other than that they are broken in any raid or beyondraid system.
Except that again, all of your disks are in one basket. Â That is the one advantage of having several single external drives. Â You can keep a set offsite. Â
As for the challenge, for some people time is money.
