If you look around at all of the RAIDs out there, most do not break the 1T limit unless it done with a expansion unit. Then you are talking about big bucks.

This is the sole reason I'm playing with the FreeNAS option. Drives are getting cheaper. Using a 8 or 16 SATA controller, for expansion as needed. But you need to decide what drives and buy a case. This way everyone will be compatable with each other.

The bigger problem is that you still need to backup the data somehow.
