It sounds to me that he is looking to consolidate the 4TB of image
files from the several external HDs he is currently using, and a
good RAID with some redundancy can provide that storage with easy
retrieval. He didn't ask anything about back up, that is a
different question. That said having the RAID as part of a network
server is also a viable possibility.
raid is high availability and most people don't need that.
raid is not a backup.
Uhm, a mirrored raid most certainly is backup, saved me a number of times.
Yup!
I currently have a 12TB RAID5 NAS on my desk, all data backed up for
hardware failure.
