    It’s hard to find distribution for Netstor these days. Areca makes a wonderful host card that works very well with Mac computers. The Netstor product is reliable, but most people stick with G-Tech Studio XL, Promise Pegasus, Maxx Digital or Areca. I am pretty sure that Maxx Digital can get a 16 bay thunderbolt 3 chassis without issue. To my knowledge, there are no G-Tech or Promise 12 or 16 bay RAID enclosures.

    Hi Bob,

    thanks for your input. I found a distributer in Germany.
    The price is just under 10.000 bucks for the whole system plus two 10TB HD’s spare incl. Vat.
    I think I’ll go for this solution.

    cheers

    Rainer
