I had an Areca SAS raid and controller about 10 years ago. Didn't last long. I don't know if it was a power supply problem or a cooling problem, or what, but it crapped out in under 3 years.
I only had the one, so take my comments with a grain of salt, but I wouldn't buy that again.
Why not use a QNAP? Then you can add another sharing with another bay whenever you need it.
