Hi! I run a PMS on my 2012 8 core Mac Pro and I usually have 4 drives in a non-RAID, but I do a 1 to 1 backup of each drive using Carbon Copy Cloner. I've planned for her eventual demise by picking up a DS920+ and I've loaded it up with 4-18 TB Exos drives (not Syn. supported, but functioning). Thing is, I'm so used to doing a 1-1 backup nightly, I'm not sure how to proceed in configuring the drives in the 920+. My library is sort of large (~2,000 movies, ~200 TV shows) and I'm adding more 4K titles slowly, but surely. What would be the most efficient and safe way to set up the unit? RAID5? This is my first NAS and I'm a complete noob, so bear with me. I can't quite find anything online to advise me, so I thought I'd see what you have to offer. Thanks, Bob
