Hi folks,

David is right – no need to partition, you can go with Raid 6 on the 8bay Raid and consider – if you work on 4k even a small project is mostly above 1TB. If you have about 10 projects, the Raid is full.
Don’t do any Raid0 stuff – this is for amateurs or high end people!

cheers

Hi Miguel,

you just can’t chain thunderbolt endlessly with different connections just as FW or USB.
You need a thunderbolt docking station (f.e.Sonnet Thunderbolt 2 docking Station).
I would connect the GRaid on one thunderbolt, the rest with the docking Station.

Just insert the new drive and it will auto rebuilt.
You need exactly the same drive. Normally it would be a 2TB Hitachi HDS 722020ALA330

LSI is always cheaper,

apart from that it only works with SAS drives, not SATA!
I’ve never regretted the most expensive solutions.

Yes,

this should do the job.
Don’t even think about Raid0. Raid0 is never a option,

Hi,

Adaptec, Areca, LSI are all good controllers. Make sure the controller provides a raid 5 level and takes SATA HD’S. Some of them just take SAS drives. The array will show as a 3TB drive with Raid 5. The 8x lane is fast enough.

cheers

Hi Ray,

you are with a thunderbolt connection, so you Raid is your fastest option. I would edit on the Raid.
And believe me, Raid 5 is the minimum redundancy you need. You won’t realize the little bit of slower speed when you’re working. Raid 5 slows the Raid just a tiny bit. We all tend to go for Raid 6, because of experience! The more safety you can afford, the better it is. Raid 0 is no option!
A Raid is just there working working working, you don’t have to think about it, it’s just there. (a Quote from Walter Biscardi)
To my knowledge a 4bay Raid can’t be operated on Raid6, therefore I recommend the pegasus 6.

Cheers

Rainer

Hi Ray,

I would go with Raid5 never use Raid0.
The better solution would be a R6 with 3TB Hdds and raid level 6.

cheers
