Hi Brett

well then that’s even better – it saves me buying a 4 bay enclosure spending that money instead in drives then to have as many duplicates as i possibly can…

one last thing, since the Green Caviars have been flawless in these 2 Raid 1 enclosures, is it OK to persist on that direction & get a couple more drives to make duplicates ?

i truly appreciate your effort in getting me sorted, thank you SO much – my music collection means SO MUCH to me ! 😉

sorry but when checking the link i included in my post to make sure it was correct, i verified that for some weird reason the link directs you to a ”sorry but we’re closed until april” page that doesn’t even exist !?

if you have the patience just paste Guardian Maximus Raid1 0GB in the search box

again my apologies

Hi Brett

so basically what you’re saying is that i didn’t need to buy these enclosures ( please take a look here :
https://macupgrade.eu/catalog/guardian-maximus-hardware-raid1-0gb-kit-p-793.html...
& i would be safer so to speak basically using one of my all time favourite softwares : Carbon Copy Cloner !?

& if i remove one of the mirrored copies ( in Raid 1.. ) from the above enclosures & install it in any other enclosure i won’t be able to access the data in it ?

that being the case, NOW i’m riddled w/ anxiety !!…LOL….oh my goodness ! & to think i stopped acquiring W.Digital My Books after reading their enclosures encode the data w/ some proprietary thingamajig so NOTHING else would read the drives !?..

seems i got it all wrong then :-b OK, off to the corner i go… 😉

Hi Brett

& thank you for your input !

it’s funny you should mention this because, as at this time my ”toy allowance” has been depleted by….the purchase of other toys, what else ? – it’s a nightmare ! 😉 .. – i decided to order a couple of Western Digital Red 3TB drives to copy my Green Caviars !!
this way i WILL have a couple of extra copies besides what i already have & yes, what you say about placing them elsewhere sounds right : all sorts of things can & do go wrong sometimes..

as far as Raid1 is concerned although i have read time & again about it NOT being a back-up strategy, i thought that by producing exact, extra copies kept here, there & everywhere…it would end up working as one without the fuss of physically having to copy drive after drive : just pop a new drive in Raid enclosure & hop, there it goes copying it to the newcomer !
or did i get this wrong as well ?

cheers

compared to my post ?
super minimalist at the very least but SO to the point that, DAMN ! i can’t even resent you…LOL…

but i promise i’ll behave & get some WD Reds or so

cheers ! 😉

Hi Jon

& congrats : your haiku beats mine hands down ! 😉

cheers
