The built-in RAID data protection and caching make it safer and faster than a JBOD solution like the DS2405 or DS2300.<BR /><BR />Good luck!

The servers would boot from their internal drive and then we would like to use the disk array as the servers d: drive to store databases on. First, is this possible? And second, how we would do it?
