    Looking for a Quiet thunderbolt raid 6 (16 to 24tb)

    Posted by Richard Dee on March 6, 2015 at 10:52 pm

    Hi All,

    I am looking for a quiet as possible raid 6 thunderbolt solution, around 16 to 24 tb.

    I currently have a 16 drive Cineraid PCIE/SAS that is blazingly fast but is so loud it really needs a server room

    (anyone want to buy this 16tb unit from me with very low hours with areca card?)

    I know SSD’s would super quiet but too cost prohibitive.

    Also i recently read about some new raids that use a combination of SSD and Sata drives, but there were only raid 1 and 10.

    Anyone know the advantage to this mixed disc approach?

    If you really like your current RAID array, why don’t you buy a noise suppressed rack for it? The cost would be far less than a new T-bolt array.

    The best raid systems are not quiet.
    They need the fan power!
    So a silent rack is your solution,

    cheers

    I actually bought the DAT Optic 8 Bay thunderbolt2 raid in their quiet chassis and it is in fact very quiet, even sitting near me.
