Hi there Rainier
I have a 12core macpro with Yosemite 10.10.5 … I have installed the latest Areca driver for Yosemite … I have bought an 8bay iStorage pro with 8x2tb WD black drives and an Areca 1880 card…
Wondering if I could get a ‘for dummies’ instruction on the basics of setting up a raid 5… I am not a complete novice but I suppose that it would be good if I could get some advice on the possible pitfalls of setting this up for the 1st time
I think that I will be ok installing the card and the drives but from there I’m into the grey… I think the GUI is in the MRAID folder but any help in first steps from there is very very much appreciated….
Cheers and thanks in advance
