raid 0

Hi all, I've had an 8TB G-RAID Thunderbolt 3 drive for a couple years and I got tired of the noise and slow speeds with my Mac -- around 380 MB/s -- so I just swapped out the HDDs with two WD Blue 2.5" SSDs. I used the RAID configurator to format the array as RAID 0 and then initialized them...

Hey guys! Been in and out of this site for a couple of years now, and I figured I'd make a post calling for aid, due to the mass amount of information regarding RAID controllers for Mac Pros. You guys are smart, you seem to have come up with every answer to every question thus far, however I...

CORRECTION: OWC Express 4M2! Hi, speed tests via Aja attached. Shouldn't the Thunderbolt 3 (MBP 14,3) speeds be faster? We were hoping to get closer to 2500 MBps. - macOS Mojave 10.14.2 - OWC Express 4M2 - 4x Samsung 970 EVO 256GB SSD - Dedicated bus - SoftRAID configured RAID 0 - Mac Pro 6,1...

So yesterday I began looking into upgrading my MacPro 5,1 storage and looking a the new 140.0.0.0.0 bootrom firmware that supports native NVMe boot, i took the plunge and bought two 500GB Samsung 970 Evo NVMe M.2 blades and two Vantech M.2 NVMe PCIe x4 Adapters. Why 2 of each? Well, I wanted to...

hi you all, i recently tried to use 2x sm951 512go via pci-express to built a raid 0 on my macpro 5,1, but can't make it through; i've tried two ways, raid 0, then restore from time machine, the restore was complet, but can't restart normally, it goes to have process with logo, then restart...

I am familiar at a baseline level with the benefits of using mSATA SSD in a Mac Pro in PCIe to speed system, especially when setup as a RAID 0. I currently have 2 x Anandtech PCIe 4-lane 4-Port mSATA SSD RAID Cards installed. So I have a total of 8 mSATA SSDs across two different PCIe lanes...

Hey everyone, new to the forum! Maybe this has been asked before so I apologize if it has! Just to preface, I have been out of the Mac/MacOS game for quite some time. The last time I had a Mac (of any kind) was close to 4-5 years ago, and if I remember correctly MacOS Lion was out. So I'm...

Hello, First time post, unsure if I have it in the right section. I brought a OWC thunderbolt external hard drive, with 4 bays running thunderbolt 2 almost 4 years ago. Has worked like a charm. When I got it, I re-formatted the 4x 5TB hard drives that came with it, using Mac OSX at the time...

I have a MacBook Pro which I'm running with 2x SSD's (One in the drive bay) in raid 0, which runs great. I would like to install Windows on an external USB or preferably a thunderbolt SDD, has anyone done this?

I'm on the verge of buying this hard drive: https://www.wdc.com/en-gb/products/internal-storage/wd-red.html#WD80EFZX to use to clone my boot drive to as a backup. (I'm aware that they can be had for far less money via places other than from WD themselves). As it's a much more modern drive...

Hello, I'm looking to increase my Mac Pro 5,1 SSD Read/Write speeds for an all around better workflow/user experience. Is anyone using a PCIe raid controller in raid 0 to achieve greater R/W performance, if so what speeds are you getting and what card(s) are you using? At present, I have 4x...
