I've decided to go the route of DAS over NAS, but dont really understand what im looking for in said DAS. Is there much difference in the enclosures? The biggest thing i seem to be able to tell is some have hardware RAID which i would like to avoid. I would like RAID which is do able on a DAS with software right? Is there a brand i should avoid? I'm guessing not cause as far as i know Its just a box that makes all of the hard drive look like one? Or do the HDDs still show as individual when its plugged into my pc? Im looking at terramaster right now as its got a sale on their 4bay, but with my lack of understanding i dont want to pull the trigger before i know what im looking for and understand what im buying.
