Since I am not able to use my 1TB WD WD1001FALS drives in my DNS-321 in a raid configuration, has anyone used them as JBOD in a 321? Thanks for any responses. Z

Desktop / Consumer RAID Environments - WD Caviar Green Hard Drives are tested and recommended for use in consumer-type RAID applications (RAID-0 /RAID-1) this is from WDs website.

I am running 2 WD20EARS in a raid 0 and all is well atm. Been running 2 months.. One prob is supposed to be in a raid one if one drive fails and can't work thru a rebuild? Not running raid 1, havent tried JBOD.. so who knows.. I do know the 321 doesnt use NFTS format and I am not that familar with it's formats..

Quite the opposite. If one drive on your RAID 0 array fails, you will loose all data (on both drives) without any recovery options. RAID 1 provides redundancy, where if one drive fails you can restore the failed drive and reestablish the mirror.
