So I'm finally dropping some "big" money and splurged for a manufacturer renewed (1) 18TB Ultra star HC550 (from SPD). I have a few smaller 1TB drives, so of course I'm not going to RAID. Am I putting myself into a box by forcing a 5 independent drive array with my slow build process? Or should I wait a little while and wait till I can buy at least 1 more 18TB HDD to then start a RAID configuration? I'd choose RAID 6 probably, if so. Thoughts?

Extra info: Orico 5 bay DAS (DS500C3), that I have plugged into my Asus router to use as a NAS, currently with (5) 1TB drives. Those (5) 1TB were all just individual storage drives, no RAID config. Mainly just backed up pics, personal files, movies, games, TV shows, music, etc.
