raid

I work in film post production and we often receive footage from our clients on a bunch of HDDs (up to 40 drives in a cardboard box!). We're looking for a device, such as a docking station, that would allow us to conveniently connect as many HDDs as possible, simultaneously, to a single Mac...

I recently got 4 x 3TB SAS drives plus a 2009 Mac Pro RAID card. Is it true that size limit is 2.2TB for SATA drives but not for SAS drives? Anything confirmed?

if I create an external ADU Raid Assistant drive using Mac A - can the drive be read on mac B?

Hi all, Just finished updating my MBP 16” M1 Max to Ventura and now I can’t connect my external raid without the computer freezing up and rebooting. This will continue again and again until i disconnect the drive. The drive in question is a G-speed Studio 24tb connected via a thunderbolt 2 to...

So I do a lot of video work and, as such, have a lot of storage. I would like to setup an external drive on a MacMini to run Dropbox and have the same drive mount on my MacPro, at the same time, for use of the files. This would allow my MacPro to sleep while the MacMini syncs with Dropbox. I...

Hello, I'm having a problem connecting m.2 disk to this UGREEN dual M.2 Enclosure. It doesn't fit, I can't make it work. I already have another Asus rog strix arion m.2 enclosure (PIC 5) and everything is working fine , I know how to connect hardware. I tried to put inside Samsung m.2 980...

Hey guys, I am havining an inconsistant issue with both my NVME drive adapters intermittingly failing to mount on my 2019 Mac Pro on Monterey 12.6. I'm constantly having to restart the machine to get the drives to mount. No drive issues or fails via Disk Utility and just gives 'Invalid Disk'...

Hi Everyone! So I put three of my old drives together in a JBOD raid. (8+8+4TB) I set it to be the Time Machine backup for my new drive. (16 TB) Everything seemed to work fine, and it copied everything to the backup. I was even able to copy back some test files. But now it usually refuses...

I have recently purchased a used Glyph Raid SSD 4tb drive and tried doing a benchmark speed test and I was seeing 30/40mb/s for read write? (should be up to 950mb/s) I have tried to format the drive but I am still seeing the same issue and I have tried a couple of type c cables.. Any help would...

I received the Western Digital My Book Duo as a holiday gift and am wondering if I can make it work with my Mac by reformatting and using in JBOD configuration without hardware encryption. I'd want to be able to remove the drives from the WD enclosure and use them on their own if I ever needed to.

I have been using a QNAP NAS 6-bay setup at work for the past 2 years with R/W speeds upwards of 1.4GB/Sec (thanks to 2TB cache and 32GB Ram in the NAS). Until about a month ago those speeds were constant. Now, all of a sudden, I'm hitting 100MB/sec with absolutely no changes to my setup...

Hi, I have a Mac Pro with an 4TB OWC Accelsior 4M2 PCIe M.2 NVMe SSD Adapter Card. The card is setup as a Raid and formatted to APFS. The card seems to be working well. However I've just noticed that although the files on the drive only total around 400GB, it shows that I only have 1.3TB of...

Hi all, I'd really appreciate some advice. I have three 2-bay WD MyCloud EX2 Ultra enclosures, each running RAID1 on twin 4 TB drives that hold mainly videos of racing events, movies, and TV shows. I use a mid-2012 Mac Mini (Catalina) as a Plex (movies & TV shows) and Emby (races) server...

I have an encrypted hardware RAID (OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual) that is MacOS (Journaled, Encrypted). This was created via Disk Utility a few years back. Disk Utility is saying the drive is in great shape. I am on BigSur 11.4 but have access to other macs with older OS'. Suddenly the external...

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...

I have read through the forums and it looks like it is impossible at this moment. @tsialex told me condescendingly that OpenCore doesn't just magically make this possible (For context: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/opencore-on-the-mac-pro.2207814/post-30067481). That ended the...

19,1 iMac, Big Sur 11.4, Mercury Elite Pro Dual RAID (2-6TB hard drives independently configured): My question is why are the RAID drives so slow to awaken when Big Sur queries them especially in the Saving Menu. Maybe 15 sec have to go by before the RAID drives awaken for Big Sur. RAID...

I have been using a Mac Mini 2012 as a file server. I upgraded the storage to a four disk HFS+ RAID10 array in an [external RAID enclosure](https://www.newegg.com/orico-3559rus3-bk/p/0VN-0003-00023?Item=9SIA1DS0CD0629) via macOS Disk Utility. However, I have had a lot of trouble with the storage...

Hi all, I'm in need of a NAS with large capacity and redundancy (RAID) but I have limited money and want to upgrade it over the next few years. Per year I will produce 12-16 TB of data which I need to save securely somehow. First of all I considered a full-blown NAS. But they are too expensive...

(edited for clarity) Hey guys! The last time I posted you guys were incredibly helpful, and I hope someone can point me in the right direction. Current specs: And the hard drive setup: I bought this computer as-is from my old place of work. The drives are all probably non-OEM, and I'm...
