So after further reading I realized the NS780S ships with the card needed to connect to the host computer.
Andrew thanks for the info. Looks like there is much I’m not aware of.
I was under the impression with the NS780S that when the raid card or a hard drive went bad I would be able to swap whatever component failed and rebuild the raid and thus the data would be A OK. Is this less straightforward or much less likely to successfully rebuild than I’m thinking?
