I use mine for media storage for point and click access. Raid is a nice function and in times of errors data can be saved. But raid in itself is not a backup.
I ripped all my dvds and compressed them. I have some old dvds and they have light scratches and lets face it, they will not last forever. I have 1 4tb WD red that is my access point and another for back up. As secondary back up I use blueray disks to have a removable media back up. the disks sit in cases in the closet. this enclosure is attached to our htpc and is mass storage for our entertainment. We are $5 movie bin junkies. So we pick up new ones quite frequently. Darn good movies we watch in theaters and then buy the movie when its is released.
