  • external raid box for areca 1882ix

    Posted by Mark Leger on August 20, 2014 at 9:42 pm

    like the heading says, im currently setup with an areca 1882ix-12 raid array. i have my internal sata drives hooked up to the internal sata ports on the adapter in a raid 5.

    looking to toss those drives and buy 8 new drives and build an external raid 6 array. would the areca ARC-4036ML be the box for me?

    and should i buy sas drives to go in that thing? not sure of the sas vs sata difference to be honest. TIA

    Hi Mark,

    ProMAX FastMAX – 8x2tb, 8x3tb, 8x4Tb, and coming soon, 8x5tb.

    No, we don’t sell empty chassis, but we do offer 1-year of unlimited support, and a 3-year warranty.

    If you’d like to explore the possibilities you know how to reach me…

    thanks for replies guys. yeah i would prefer to get an empty chassis and populate myself for more control and choice.

    so im guessing with the ARC-4036ML sas would be for hot swap drives and sata would be for shut it all down then replace bad drive?
