Solved NAS drive enclosure

Hello everyone,

I'm looking for a good cheap NAS drive enclosure that supports RAID 10, but I'm having a hard time trying to find one that is. I found some, but they only support RAID 0, 1, and 5.

I'm wanting to plug it into the router so that my desktop and WHS server can use it for storage with a few SATA drives in RAID 10 for speed and data protection.

Do you have any recommendations?

Thecus N4100PRO NAS RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, JBOD Network Media Server Storage Enclosure, Up to 4x SATA II/3G Hard Drives w/ USB 2.0, GB LAN, Print Server, SMB, FTP, iTunes: N7700 (Up to 4TB, Retail)

Like that?

Hello Americano,

Yeah like that, but hopefully a cheaper one if able to find one out there.

Thank you.

Ok, I gave up on the NAS since they were to high. I decided on a USB/eSATA RAID box instead. Here are two that I have found that seem to be a good price with good reviews below.

What are your opinions on them, any personal experience using them, or other recommendations??

Well, I found a good open box special on Newegg for this one below and ordered and received it.

Newegg.com - SANS DIGITAL MS2UT+B 2 Bay SATA to eSATA/USB 2.0 RAID 0 / 1 / SAFE33 / 50 Enclosure (Black) - Server RAID Systems

The special was that it was the silver model in the box and not the black model stated on the box even. LOL

I have it setup in JBOD with two 1.5 TB 5400RPM drives to the ASRock server with WHS installed. It worked perfectly the first time through without a problem. Since it works so well, I'm not worried enough about the color to go through exchanging it.
