[Neil Sadwelkar] “Like this one…
https://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?ModuleNo=222999 “I tried one like that and got rid of it in a couple of days. Did not like it at all and we were having issues with it. So I went with the WiebeTech version which has been rock solid and we can even set up RAIDs if we want. I went with the 2 bay model but you can also get the 4 bay.

LaCie’s have always been rock solid for me. Have one from SEVERAL years back, thats still running like a champ.
I’ve had a LaCie go south on me, and I lost 13 hours worth of footage, but they replaced it without any questions, and I recaptured, and was off and running.
EVERY (disc) hard drive you’ve EVER worked on WILL go bad eventually.
Its inherent in their design.I have 2 LaCie raids, 6 LaCie quadra-style (some are older and dont have the 4 in/outs) and 1 firmtek Raid enclosure.
To each their own.

Amen to that – and let me add “fool me once…” – I always give a make another chance, every one has odd bad models. When I get two in a row, I call it a day. Nowadays, all my client masters are backed up on RAID 5 storage (I won’t say which vendor) at base, so these G-RAIDs etc. are just field drives. As such, I also carry a spare at all times…

I’m a fan of the Wiebetech RTX as well but I’ve never done a bare-drive RAID in a multibay dock. How is it that way, Walter? You like?

I have not done the RAID with this unit as we purchased it specifically for all our Media Managed archiving. We just set up all the drive individually. But it’s neat to have that option if we need it, I could really see it working well with the 4 bay unit.
