A good RAID controller can run $400 plus
Also their are some reviews showing the speeds on the Synology

I saw those but I am not looking to install WHS
With WHS to get for example 4TB of storage space that is protected I would have to install 8 1TB drives while on the other hand using a NAS box I can get 4TB out of 5 drives running RAID 5. Plus the speeds are far superior with the NAS boxes.
I am trying to decide between the 2 and don't know which one to get. Any help would be appreciated.

I currently only have about ~4.5tb of data but that is growing
I would like to use the drives I have and be able to expand in the future or swap them out for larger drives.
So then you are better off with RAID or a drobo if you are looking for more space
For me I have a drobo with 4x1tb drives and 3 external 1tb drives. That makes my total storage of 6tbs.
I would like to through 6 of those drives in a RAID and get it the 5tb space from it
Not sure what...
