I wonder whay type if data protection/redundancy they had on this thing.

Let's spin up 2 of this bad boys and do a RAID1 configuration!

Edit: RAID0 to RAID1. Don't want to spread incorrect information.

RAID0 doesn't give you any protection or redundancy, just speed.

Oh shit, I got my raids confused, I was thinking mirrored drives (I see now that's RAID1). I haven't used hardware raid in years, current set up is using unraid.
