So I managed to resuscitate the WHS and it limped along just fine until yesterday, 2nd drive locked right up. Thank God for server backups. So I needed something and just said eff it and bought the Qnap T451+ Turbo.

How did you guys that one one of these decide how you wanted to arrange your drives? Options are single volume, thick volume and thin volume without really providing an comprehensive explanation to the pros and cons with each. I dislike with RAID that you lose an entire HD to redundancy. I think I'd rather a single volume and do regular backups to an external drive or maybe even a cloud server of sorts. Only drawback with the cloud is it's going to take forever to upload 200+ gig.
