I was thinking about running my drives in a raid 5 setup and was looking up a bit online. My idea was to just get a SATA expansion card, chuck some drives in my tower case run them in raid 5 and call it a day. but everywhere i look i only see people talking about NAS system. I dont want to shelve out the money for a dedicated system when mine should do the job as well. Does it just not make sense to do a multi drive storage in my own case or why is everyone recommending NAS?
i should add that my PC case can fit seven drives and i wouldnt need that many if i were to go with high capacity drives.
