Recommended Posts

Hey there people

and this enclosure -

would i use the the RAID 0 (spanning) (JBOD) mode?

 

thanks for all your help

Link isn't working but assuming it's a multiple disk enclosure running from a single eSata port it's not recommended, both for performance and reliability, since it will use a Sata port multiplier, if you really need external look for a SAS enclosure.
