N5200 can operate in dual mode. When connecting to a regular USB disk or thumb drive or, N5200 is acting as USB host. When connecting to a PC thru its USB Type B connector on the back panel, N5200 can act as a USB disk. This feature allows user to transfer files without using network connection.
When you create RAID, you can assign a portion of space on the RAID to be used as USB disk. When connecting N5200 to a PC using the supplied USB A to B cable, the PC will recognize this space as unformatted disk. At this point, the PC can format this portion of disk and create file system on it. Since this disk is created on the RAID, it will be protected by the RAID level you select.
Also the eSATA HDD act same with the N5200 acting as USB host, and both need under FAT32 format.
