I believe all of the SOHO qnap box's use a software raid also James.

I've got mine last week and i must say i'll love it . The 419P is quit en has Raid . The whs had only a soft raid, that was the reason for me to buy the Qnap . But when the new whs vail comes out , i'm sure gonna give it a try .

I ended up getting one of these QNAP units, cancelling my HP 495 order once I found out it didn't support RAID 5. Handling drive failure without the need to mirror is a big plus for non-WHS systems, and I'd definitely have gone WHS if it supported RAID.

You couldn’t recover RAID 1 data from a drive formatted in EXT2? There’s many tools that will read EXT2/3 on a PC. Here’s an example of one of them:

I used to use RAID 0 on my desktop also, and I agree with you. However, I do not consider RAID 0 a business solution, and I was thinking RAID in regards to a WHS. And a NAS, also.

HI Jim,

I use RIAD 0 on my desktop for only one reason, disk speed. Since I've got my trusty WHS looking out for my backside I could careless if my array goes down. My tech buddy always says man you live on the edge with RAID 0 then I remind hiim of my WHS he goes oh yah : )

Over time, I am starting to realize that some technologies (like RAID) are better left where they belong: the business environment.

One of the reasons I got a WHS is my linux based NAS failed on me and the rade5 set was unreadable. Then i configured the replacement as raid1 when it failed I could still not recover my data as the disk was formatted EXT2. With WHS I can pop the drive in any of my USB drive bays, connect it to any computer to recover the data.

Yeah Jim, these are nice looking machines, but pricy. Qnap has many models. I like the 8 bay unit. http://www.qnap.com/pro_detail_feature.asp?p_id=1... this link has a few youtube videos.
