I just put them in my car. Not likely that disaster will strike both
home/office and car, and it's easy to rotate.

Many thanks Daniel, I loved the demo's and intend to pursue this product!!
By the way, how is the best way to overcome the problem of
destruction by fire, severe storm or theft?
Can the drives be shuffled to an data storage fireproof safe, and if
so how does that affect the Raid? I know nothing about this but to
have redundancy without taking the final step for the items above I
would think I would need units inside a data fireproof safe???

just pop bare SATA drives in and out of the box like a
toaster--even while its running.
I have a Drobo FS on the network in my office. Whenever it gets
near full I just order a larger bare SATA drive or two and swap out
one of the smaller ones from the box. Usually, the drive swap is
done just before I leave for the night so the new drive can be
populated from the RAID before morning.
Backups are what worry me. I'm using Amazon S3. There are probably
better options out there.
