So against ALL odds I did get all my data safely off a dying Drobo, onto a High Point 4 bay enclosure with four 16Tb drives. I made it Raid 5 using Softeraid's trial, and so far, so good.

I'm trying to wrap my head around paying for the SoftRaid premium or not: I've read all the FAQs and as far as I can tell, the only things I can't do without premium is create new raids and use their monitoring feature.

I understand about the new volume thing but...if I don't upgrade to premium, since I won't be able to use their monitoring, how will I know when a disk is dying or is dead?
