Hi,
I am interested in a RAID 1 solution and looking at the best value for money. I was looking at G-SAFE but saw these cheaper alternatives for Macbook Pro Lion 10.7.3(main computer) and a PC running Win 7 64 that I sometimes need to transfer files from. What do you think?
Newer Technology 0GB Guardian MAXimus mini Quad Interface Hard Drive Array ($110, $85 at owc site sale, no drives but 2TB Hitachis 7K3000 are $169 each at Newegg so about $443)
NewerTech Guardian MAXimus 2.0TB "Quad Interface" Hardware RAID-1 (Mirrored) Data Redundant Solution $414(2 seagate barracuda drives) - Don't like Seagate drives - had bad luck in the past
OWC Mercury Elite Pro RAID 2.0TB Triple Interface Mirrored RAID $549 (2 x 2.0TB* Hitachi Deskstar 7K2000**)
G-Technology 2TB G-SAFE External Hard Drive Array ($479, 2x2TB drive, RAID1 ) - What drives are used in G-SAFE? Are they enterprise class?
Also what is this note in OWC site
"NOTE: SoftRAID 4 is an OS X system program only. For PC use we highly suggest the Guardian MAXimus HardWare RAID-1 data redundant solutions." - Is guardian maxiumus only for PC?
Thanks.
