Mar 1, 2016 7:31 AM in response to Mondy530by Bob Timmons,★HelpfulApple support mentions that you can connect a single USB drive to the port on the AirPort router, or multiple drives if you use a powered USB hub. No mention is made of Raid type drives, which I interpret to mean that RAID is not supported by the firmware on the USB port on the AirPorts.
Uses for the USB port of AirPort Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme, AirPort Express - Apple Support
In my experience, Raid type drives are not recognized by the USB port on the Time Capsule or AirPort Extreme.
Even if the RAID drive was recognized, you probably would NOT ever want to connect a RAID array to the port.
The reason for this is that the port is USB 2.0 only.......and due to processor limitations within the AirPort router, the port runs at about half the speed of a USB 2.0 port on a computer. So, things would be incredibly slow with this type of setup.
