Furthermore could just be a discrepancy with Amazon description as the model in title looked up on other sites indicates what others have answered as well that this would be 2x4TB drives. So, misleading.

Well I kind of agree here to a point. 1). Using RAID0 will double your storage, and give twice the seek time. Transfer speed however is a moot point because you are limited to the network speed 1000Mb/s (megabits) about 125Megabytes so RAID 0 will not help with that, but it does double seek time. 2). Funny people alway… see more Well I kind of agree here to a point. 1). Using RAID0 will double your storage, and give twice the seek time.

Funny people always say if using RAID0 and 1 drive fails you loose all data, TRUE! but this also applies to using 1 single drive, if it fails you still loose all data, but if using raid 1 for parity solves it, but at the expense of half your storage. 3). So I agree if parity is important, but just as fast network drive for movies, and random file storage none of this matters. I think a network drive is only good for fast and dirty file storage. If it's important I would not be using a piece of junk like this in the first place. But I think any raid would be Okay with this. I just would not use it for important backup, but as a storage only. back it up to an external or something. see less Well I kind of agree here to a point. 1).

Well it will be halved if its 2 4TB drives and its advertised as 8 TB and RAID 1 means you get 4TB. They don't say how many drives are included of what size its tough to say. maybe the 8 TB is one drive why not be clear.
