My Mac Pro went from ~2 weeks to just shipped, arriving tomorrow. Caught off guard, I haven't had much time to research Thunderbolt chassis' for the 4x HDD's in my current Mac Pro5,1.
From what I know, the Promise Pegasus2 seems the most recommended. I've been told by Apple you shouldn't use the HDD's in your current setup (not sure what brand ships with them). Any other recommendations? Do external Thunderbolt chassis' come with mixed media, for example holding my HDD's and internal LG Blu-Ray burner?
Thanks for any help!
Update: Came upon OWC's "ThunderBay IV". Using an OWC Mercury EXTREME Pro 6G SSD as my main boot and other products, they seem very reliable. $494.99 for a 4 bay that can use your own drives seems pretty darn good. Thoughts?
