    The chipset can address a maximum of 16TB of storage, for example two 8TB HDDs, set up in any number of RAID configurations.
    Considering that RAID 2, 3, 4 and 5 require 3 drives and RAID 6 requires 4 drives minimum, your "any number of RAID configurations" is limited to RAID 0 or RAID 1.

    Considering that RAID 0 offers no fault tolerance or redundancy, we can discount it. So effectively, this is RAID 1 only.

    I'll stick with my Drobo.
    I'm sure it can do SHR too. And don't compare it to a Drobo. Drobo boxes can only do a fraction of what the Synology and Qnap can do.
