Hi all.
I want to get an external RAID 0 or 5 hard drive array for backup only. I thought about 5400 RPM as less heat (and cheaper vs. a Seagate Barracuda).
I know the WD Green drives are not made/intended for RAID, but will there be any problem using these slower drives if the device is kept OFF/unplugged 99% of the time?
Or take no chances and just get drives made for RAID?
Make sense or I'm missing something else?
thanks!
