Although one of my buddies that works there bricked it changing some settings he didnt know anything about, there support service was able to get it going again no problem.
My home solution is 8x 3TB Western Digital Greens in RAID 10 connected to my server via USB3 . I have used the e-sata feature as well but only having e-sata2 speed the USB3 is faster. Better drives would improve my write times. It does write to the drives at 100mb/s + across the network and faster if from the local SSD on the server.
This is a Mediasonic USB3 RAIDPRO Enclosure http://www.mediasonic.ca/product.php?id=1357290608
Supports RAID50 aswell. I'm using it in RAID10 cause I got cheap ass drives in it.
The only thing the external enclosure has over that is easy portability. Just plug into the next computer your up.
However I'm sure that RAID card will totally crush the external enclosures for performance.

still a good setup you have there. i have a external hard drive plugged to my linksys E3000 so i am way out of the game lol. i don't need big file sharing capabilities though so it's ok.
I couldn't afford nice enough drives to run it sately in a RAID 50 setup
Had mine for over a year now. Has been on ever since the day I brought it home.
