  • Most people here are the exact opposite of you and don’t trust hardware RAID especially cheap implementations in a USB based DAS box. Software RAID is far more flexible and makes your setup independent of the hardware RAID cad dying.

    Yeah I definitely get that. All the DAS I see with hardware raid look like shit. I mostly don’t trust software raid being run on a separate machine. I have read stories of losing all the data even after shutdown properly and attaching the DAS after moving or something.

    I am using a mac mini, it would be much easier if I was just using a full desktop computer, very easy build.





  • I am right there with you. I am a Mechanical Engineer and if we tried putting out a product with the limited documentation that these come out with, we would be taken off the project. ME projects have documentation meant to guide a 10 year old through the process and details. The documentation would fill a 3" 3ring binder.

    Yet these network products are released with 1 page of upper level description of the product. Yeah I already know what the product already does, that’s why I got it, how about the actual documentation?
