Setting up Linksys WRT1900AC with 5 drive raid enclosure via USB 3.0

Its black friday. One of the things on my to do list is to set up some kind of NAS. I'd like data redundancy above all else.

With the WRT1900AC if i hook up a Raid capable enclosure and connect it via usb, will it be able to recognize it? Will the enclosure make the raid array and present it as 1 drive to the router? Is there any limits to the total capacity that the router can recognize in an external hdd?

I'm looking at something like [This](http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=0VN-00AD-00001) in Raid 5 with 8tb drives, which should give me ~32tb and 1 drive fault tolerance.
