I am having issues with RAID0 drives disconnecting or not showing on boot on my Mac Mini Pro. I had it with a Beelink TB5 dock, and now with an OWC TB4 4-drive NVME enclosure. I have another one of those working perfectly on an M1 Ultra Studio.
I switched to using the OWC via a TB4 hub, also from OWC, and that seems to fix it. But I am wondering whether there is a hardware issue specific to my Mac.
An Acasis dual drive TB4 enclosure worked flawlessly, but drive temps on the OWC dock with its massive heat sinks are 32°C vs 55°C in the Acasis enclosure despite its fan. Given the high cost of SSDs these days, I want to preserve their lifespan.
Has anybody else run into RAID or external drive compatibility issues on the Mini Pro?
