guys i hope somebody could help me with this problem:

i have a desktop pc with 4 hard drives full of data
now the pc gone kaput and since i have a macbook now i don't need to use it anymore
i'm planning to get a NAS so that i can use all the hard drives that i have wirelessly with my macbook
if i insert those hard drives into the NAS, can i still use the data (the hard drives are formatted as NTFS using windows 7 that is my previous desktop setup) or will it be formatted and become a newly erased HDD?

You can use back the data but not is this way. You have to takeout the data and reformat the hdd to your NAS prefer format. Than download back to the hdd.

If you prefer RAID, consider your all 4hdd have a same capacity.

Most of the NAS doesn't support NTFS.
Because they are running Linux.
When you insert you HDD, it need to format into Linux format.
I suggest you buy 2 or 4 bay HDD enclosure connect with eSATA or USB3.
