I may have the most expensive doorstop in history. When I got this 4 disk 12T Terastation, I thought I could use it for data storage. Long story, short: I have never used it and REALLY need more space for data storage. I have 12 terabytes sitting there!
I think in the original set up of it on my network if I indicated to use it as a RAID array. I never put that in action. CAN I CHANGE IT SOMEHOW to make it usable only for data storage? I am a professional photographer and really need the space!

Since that is what the unit is designed to do it should be pretty straightforward to use it as such. What model is it?
