I have either a cumbersome issue or a silly question. I purchased a G-Tech Thunderbolt 2 unit and wanted to set it up in JBOD as opposed to RAID. I own a Mac Pro and I went through the G-Tech Utility software and after realizing it only allowed me to change RAID configurations I called up tech support. I was told JBOD is not officially supported but it was originally supposed to be. So they said I would have to leave it in Pass-thru mode and have each physical drive independent. Okay, I'm not sure if that is factually correct since their manuals mention JBOD...but I can still live with that since it keeps everything organized onto each drive.
Now, the question becomes...how can I save my media, documents, and so on to the drive? I know the traditional method is to either have the iTunes preferences save to the specific drive. Also "Save As" works for traditional documents when you select the specific location/drive. The other method is to also Drag/Drop or Copy it to the specific drive I want. BUT is there something more practical when I want to save a lot of work to one drive until that is full and then change settings to save everything to the second drive, and so on?
I am mainly trying to get data to automatically save to the external drives without manually dragging/dropping or constantly altering the "save as" settings. For those wondering...I plan on backing up the drives with my second unit.
