Hello again everyone, I don't post too often but I only do when I need some expert advice. So currently I have a USB 3.0 seagate 1.5TB GoFlex that seems that is about half full of media (movies, photos, iTunes library backups) and I would like to invest in a desktop RAID setup for data redundancy (RAID 1). I would like to get a Thunderbolt and/or USB 3.0 drive and I have been looking aroung and I have found these so far.
1. Western Digital Thunderbolt Duo 4TB
2. Lacie 2big Quadra USB 3.0 4TB (there is also a thunderbolt version)
My concerns are that I have seen on some threads here that Lacie drives have reliability issues and it has made me shy away from them a little. Also my other concern is that Thunderbolt will go the way of Firewire and will die out eventually. I would prefer that the drives have thunderbolt and USB 3.0 but I haven't found a RAID drive like that yet. Any help at all is appreciated!
