Turning RN104 into an external enclosure
Is there anyway I can turn RN104 into an external NAS enclosure - I would like to populate it with 2TB-4TB NTFS disks with data and share/serve the content on internal LAN? Not interested in RAID - this data is already backed up. Appreciate any and all help.

You can do this with the NAS, but you need to start with empty volumes, so the data on the existing drives will be lost.bludevil wrote: I am already doing the USB enclosures connected to a PC - I am looking to get rid of the clutter [multiple enclosures attached to PC] by putting all the drives in single NAS device and forget it! no more enclosures or PC. I guess I am barking up the wrong tree with most mainstream NAS solutions :(
All NAS are specialized file servers (pretty much by definition). So there is some complexity in setting them up and managing them.
