More Information

This venus external raid unit with room for 4 drives (another model has room for 5) comes with a PCI-Express raid card and seems to have mixed reviews. This product says it uses esata. Does this mean I have to be careful about what types of drives I use ?

The Infrant (Netgear) seems to have its own issues (besides) its price.
I dont know enough about how to build this stuff but can anyone recommend either external unit or NAS where I can mount multiple drives and be able to ensure (I know always back up data somewhere else) that data will most likely not be lost by using Raid 5 or Raid X. I am looking to be able to expand to between 3-5 TB of storage.

I would say my technical knowledge is on the lower side of medium.

I already have 4 fantom 1tb external firewire 800 drives which I manually backup.
