Just switched over to all Apple products, need some help please.
Purchased (2) Lacie 2Big Thunderbolt 6TB boxes.
Would like to daisy chain these and set them up as Raid 1. That way I'll have 6TB for storage and 6TB as mirrored.
From the factory, each Lacie box contains two 3TB hard drives configured as Raid 0.
I didn't have any success with Disk Utility, I'm sure it's my level of experience.
Questions:
- Will Disk Utility allow me to configure Raid 1 using each Lacie boxe configured as Raid 0? (This is how they come from the factory)
- Do I have to delete the factory configuration (Raid 0) and configure Raid 1 using all four drives? (Tried this, total storage calculated as 3TB)
- Do I configure each Lacie box as JOBD, then configure both JOBD as Raid 1? (Haven't tried this yet)
Please help!!
