And if 1 crashes. Bye bye data.

You mean you’re not looking forward to the LaCie version?

Yeah…sorry, RAID 0 is so 5 years ago. Now there are plenty of RAID 5 (protected/fast) options out there that RAID 0 makes no sense. Skip this and get the Promise TB Raid…

Doesn’t the WD Duo do RAID5 across both it’s drives?

Pretty cool.

RAID 5 requires at least 3 drives. Two drive protected RAID is Raid 1. And even if you RAID 0 four drives that are RAID 1, if you lose one of the units, the RAID 0 is broken

I think it’s pretty crazy seeing those speeds with off-the-shelf gear on an iMac. Practical? Not really. But neither are show cars but that doesn’t mean they aren’t fun to gawk at. Geez, buncha wet blankets up in here. 😉

You aren’t allowed to be excited about technology anymore, especially anything that has to do with thunderbolt, or anything that’s brand new.

It’s passé.

By the way, you could easily set those up raid 1+0 (or raid 10).

Each my book is raid 1, then raid 0 the whole thing together. If one of the my books loses a drive, simply replace and rebuild. It won’t effect the raid 0 structure of it as the raid 1 protects it. This is actually a very secure way to work due to the amount of redundancy. Won’t be the fastest, though.

I should add that raid1 halves your total capacity.

If each one of those my books has 6TB total, the capacity will be 3TB after the raid1 set.

The 24TB shown would be 12 TB protected.
