    NS5200PRO daily hardisk change for backup purposes

    Hey,
    I read a lot about the NS5200PRO and it want to buy it.
    I would like to have three or four harddisks build in (raid) and one or two harddisks to be exchanged daily (nightly backup, one harddisk per day of the week, to be stored at an fire-save place, no raid).
    * Is it possible to do this with the NS5200PRO?
    * Are the harddisk mount kits tough enough to be used every day?
    * Do I have to manually connect a cable to the disks or is it real plug-n-play?
    * Does the system support daily exchange of the disks?
    Unfortunately I could not find any information about this. In the manual, exchanging a disk is only recommended in case of a disk-failure.
    Any reply is appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    Dear Sir,

    Due to N5200 is a NAS base on RAID cofiguration, thus we won't recommend change the HDD for daily backup propose, because rebuilding the RAID data daily would reduce HDD lifetime or RAID volume abnormal easily.

    Thank you very much for the quick answer. Is it possible to have a single disc without raid? There would no rebuild be necessary then.

    Dear Sir,

    N5200 PRO support multi RAID function, which means we could make 5 set JOBD on N5200 PRO.
