Hello,

Totally new to NAS.

I typically just add drives to my desktop, so in that sense I'm already super used to treating each drive individually.

Been considering an NAS because sometimes the random drive spin-up causing the whole system to slow down or pause. Can be annoying, esp when gaming, that's why I'm considering shifting all my data storage off-pc.

I thought it was just a matter of getting a NAS and plugging the drives in, but it seems like in a NAS, it is considered a single storage drive regardless of the number of drives it has?

I'm assuming you can split up the storage, but that's still not using the drives individually yes?

Or is there a way/setting you can set so that you don't have to use any kind of RAID and just have the system treat each drive as, well, a drive?
