RAID 5 formatting for PROMISE Pegasus2 R6 12TB (6 x 2TB) Thunderbolt 2 RAID System for FCPX 10.1?

[Tim Jones]

It is VERY important to note that BackBlaze admits to using only the CHEAPEST drives possible. While there is a market for these drives, it’s also important to understand that there is a reason for the pricing delta between a consumer-grade drive (all of the units mentioned by BackBlaze are consumer / desktop drives) and Enterprise-grade drives. Our experience with the Seagate and WD desktop drives is very similar to the numbers presented by BB. However, our experience with Seagate’s ES class 3.5″ and 2.5″ drives is very different – in the sub-1% range over thousands of customer-placed drives.
