Correct. This RAID server had sat for 6 or 7 years unused. Plugged it back in and everything was fine. It had 12x 4 TB drives in RAID 6. I just added 12x 14 TB drives in RAID 5 and upgraded it to 25 GBE. Home built in 2011 with advice from Bob Zelin. Areca RAID card, 24 bay Norco chassis, PC motherboard. Simple and reliable. Tho these days the off the shelf stuff from Synology et al is easier and doesn’t require building it yourself. I got an Atto 25 GbE to Thunderbolt 3 box and use it with my MacBook. Also use it with PCs.
