I need an external hard drive case with Raid 5 for 4 x 4TB hard drives and USB 3

No offsite storage at this point in time.

Glad you're getting the answers you need re the USB RAID. I'd advise sorting some offsite storage next. Can be as simple as an external drive given to a mate to look after. Unless you've got a fireproof safe at home, of course :-)

Lance, I was wondering whether this Synology product would better suit your needs: https://www.synology.com/en-global/products/DS415+

Thank you for the tip. It does look very good albeit a little more expensive than the Drobo but possibly worth it as it looks to be a little faster. However, I have purchased the Drobo now and all is working well and I am using it is a back up to my 3 x 4TB internal hard drives. So, I have 4 x 4TB hard drives in the Drobo in RAID 5 giving me about 12TB and I have my 3 x 4TB internal drives also giving me 12TB. I then back up what is on my internal drives onto my Drobo as a fail safe system. All works very well.

Good one ,Lance. It's always great when you purchase something that does the job without any dramas. I went down the Synology path and am, likewise, very happy.
