Have a read about what RAID is, that will explain to you why some need two or more disks. | |

Whats the crack with some of these? are they just enclosures and you have to buy the HDD yourself? Also some have two HDD, why? | |

The support is the best i've ever came accross. After 4 months of owning one, one of my Samsung HDDs failed (nothing to do with the NAS itself) and this didnt affect the raid5 array. When I swapped the hard disk a second samsung hard disk failed and I lost everything. Synology then offered to take my NAS with two broken hard disks, pay for the shipping to China themselves, recover ALL the data, rebuild the raid array and return with all the data intact ALL for free, I didnt pay a penny....... and this is a drive I bought new from Ebay, not from them. /hats off to them. *edit* keep away from Samsung Spinpoint F1s (1TB in particular).
