I assume the Raid Controller is built into the box and that you can connect the box to a Laptop pc.

That is correct. It connects to a laptop or desktop via USB or Firewire 800. I can operate (via controls on the rear) in RAID 0 or RAID 1.

I have to admit that I have yet to set it up - but my plan is to use it on my MAC laptop for protecting/backing up all of my photos (yes there is a lot) - hopefully it is simple to figure out - but right now not sure where any controller is - sorry

yes you can, and as you add it will expand the RAID. Check out the Thecus forum or tech support their is a lot of answers there.

I have not tested this, but I see no reason why it wouldn't. When you plug it in, it is recognized just like any other USB external would be recognized. No special drivers needed. The RAID is hardware controlled, the machine only sees 1 logical drive.

This card doesn't actually do RAID (it's all done in software) so there is not really any restriction in how you can use it. For instance I used mine with 4 drives connected to this card and another to the on-board controller, for a total of 5 drives in the array.

Yes, depending on your setup. It is a hardware raid, so that means that you can set it up so that whichever device you plug it into will just see it as a large hard drive. It really depends on the router. What this device can't do is act as it's own NAS--you essentially just need to think of this device as a large USB hard drive, and then find a solution that works with it.

Yes, but very hard to setup and the support / support page is useless......good luckI would spend more and purchase from a different company, I will never buy from this company again.Even if you have raid, you should still have at least 1 (2 or more is better) disk outside your box that has a backup running to it every day.

Yes. It does support port-multiplier enclosures as well as software RAID sets with a port-multiplier enclosure.

That depends if your controller supports it, if so then yes. I am running raid 10 on mine.

If you have them setup in raid you would be wasting 750 gb but sure either way it's going to work as long as your laptop takes sata

Since this box isn't a raid box yes does not matter what drive you put in it. It will just mount it to the desktop

No, it comes with a PCIe RAID card that has to be installed in PC. The best you could hope for attaching it to your router is that the router might see 4 drives, but I'd bet only 1 drive would be visible, if you're lucky

Absolutely. For the how-to setup go to pcworld/pcmag/cnet and read the test reviews. Several magazines talked about how to use this device in a non-RAID configuration.

It's like any other portable hard drive. I don't understand about two different computers but you can attach it to a USB hub, router or directly to any PC
980557
Yes, this laptop can support 2 HDD and you can set up RAID function from BIOS.

Hi, I suggest buying a caddy to put your drives in, I assume SATA, and then you can transfer them without issue to the RAID. You can usually buy USB Caddy or enclosures for less than $20. Hope this helps.BR,Dave

This is not a RAID controller. This is a SAS expander. It works in conjunction with a separate SAS controller card, like the IBM M1015.

No it is not. The connectors on those drives are different than laptop arrives.
