NAS Hard-Drives
Posted by Eric Santiago on November 16, 2017 at 4:00 pmSo many drives to choose from, getting dizzy here ☺
Need to create a simple RAID 0 using a Pegasus2 R4 so I’m shopping for drives.
It seems some drives are labeled NAS.
For my needs is this okay to use?
I need it to store RED files possibly read them but not edit.Rainer Wirth replied 8 years, 5 months ago 4 Members · 6 Replies -

November 16, 2017 at 7:56 pmHGST has always been somehow the one I gravitate towards, but the Ironwolf range is pretty solid in my view.
If you go for densities above 8x then it pays to go pro (or enterprise) , but for small enclosures they’re perfectly fine.
Ultimately you get what you pay for, but I doubt these will cause too many issues when used inside the manufactures guidelines.

As long as I can extract all the data from the Windows box I’m happy.Question though.
What are people using to move from PC to Mac with RAID sets?
I’m usually in a server environment but this current setup is closed off. -

I use Resilio to mirror my media from a PC raid to a Mac raid. Resilio is a simple program that syncs everything and moves the data either over wifi or ethernet. I use ethernet and get around 120 MBPS speed.

December 7, 2017 at 12:32 pmHi Eric,
there is a compatibility list from Promise for the R4/R6.
You can use Sata HD`s from this list, all Drives used in your enclosure
must be the same.Cheers
Rainer
