Just take those 3t drives and connect them to a PC on your network.

 

I have a 16t and an 8t array connected to mine. I use 2t drives 12 of them tied together.You really need to not use a single drive connected to the WD. Unless you have all the data backed up somewhere else. I use a raid 6+2 setup with 24 Drives in my server.

 

If you loose your 3t drive and you will. I guarentee that drive will die on you at some point and you WILL loose all your data unless you have a mirror'd backup of it.

 

While the big drives are cool they are a reciepe for disaster.
