As the title says, I'm in need of a storage solution that is:
1. RAID5
2. Portable in size
3. Has USB or ethernet connectivity to connect directly to computers. Would *prefer* USB3.0.
4. 5 bays (more doesn't hurt)

So far, I'm contemplating this:

or

this:

The only major difference between them I can spot is that the AMS has a JM393 controller (no idea about the ramifications of that).
 
Sorry for my ignorance, what are the implications of that? And does the cheaper one not have it? I thought they both had identical specs in regard to SATA. Thanks for your help btw!
 
It is twice as fast as SATA 2. Considering that you have 4 drives transferring data you might get better transfer rates. Rates you might not need.
