As the title says, Im planning in hosting a web app to be used by our small office with 15 employees. But what i would like is to host on on their archive server and can accesss it either from LAN or WWW. What are the restrictions that i may encounter if i push through with this route? Thank you!

THANKS EVERYONE FOR YOUR HELP! I'll take further look into my issue and take in mind all the info you guys have given to me

I see so should I just return the bay and just go with the WD box?

uhm my concern regarding corruption is not just for a single file but the whole drive/s itself. Because what happened with our shared hard disk before got corrupted and now the whole disk is unusable.

oh sorry, what I meant was, if the WD My Cloud's storage gets corrupted, the whole thing gets corrupted? or that won't happen if I partition it?

Yeah saw that too but was afraid of future problems such as Disk corruption, isn't it that when that thing gets corrupted, the whole thing goes down? Thank you!

Good day, It's my first time writing here in this forum. As my title says, I'm looking into building a simple NAS server that will be used for 5 computers simultaneously. We wanted a dropbox-ish kind of storage to store all our media( pictures/videos/files ). It was boxing day recently here in Canada and saw this piece of hardware and made an impulsive purchase. I got the Mediasonic PROBOX HF2-SU3S2. I was planning a long time ago that I wanted to make a NAS server that makes use of RAID array for the disks but here's the thing, the Enclosure that I got DOES NOT support RAID. Turns out that this is a JBOD enclosure. I understand that I can still create a RAID array for the server as long as if I plug the enclosure via SATA on my MoBo but the MoBo sata drive should support multiport(?) right? So my question now is that, can I set up a NAS from an old PC and plug this thing on it and use the drives for the NAS server? doesn't matter If it's RAID or not just as long as I can efficiently use this for a NAS server. here is a link on the enclosure's specs : http://www.mediasonic.ca/product.php?id=1357290977 are all the things I stated possible or I'm on the wrong track?
