At the house, I have an empty 6 bay case that is several years old. Can I order 6 1T WD Green drives for that and set up a RAID 5 - I have no idea what that means. Would it be better to buy a RAID 5 already set up? Since I have no idea what that means. ;-) Is there a tutorial somewhere or software? For Windows XP? If I set that up at the house and Drobo at the farm and use one of my Seagate portable (designed for travel) 350GB hard drives to carry stuff back and forth (I have 4 of these). Would that work? Thanks to everybody for your help. I just want to take photos and have them safe. I don't want to be an IT person or learn any computer programming. It's all I can do to learn Leica M8 programming ;-) Tina Tina Manley www.tinamanley.com
