Many thanks Daniel, I loved the demo's and intend to pursue this product!! By the way, how is the best way to overcome the problem of destruction by fire, severe storm or theft?
Can the drives be shuffled to an data storage fireproof safe, and if so how does that affect the Raid? I know nothing about this but to have redundancy without taking the final step for the items above I would think I would need units inside a data fireproof safe???
