Is that a good idea? I mean having all of that storage on one component? Wouldn't it be safer to split that data onto separate drives?

Probably a good candidate for drive shucking. Can get a good, potentially enterprise grade, hard drive for cheaper than the drive alone would cost. Then stick it into a NAS.

Ahh, yeah I see what you're saying.

Actually, large drives like this make perfect sense in RAID arrays. Just make sure your using at least RAID 6 with drives this big - the rebuild times are scary long. I run a mix of 18TB drives in my home server and the key is having a solid backup strategy, not avoiding large drives. No matter the brand, always assume any drive will fail.
