![]() ![]() ![]() Since Seagate took 2 years to come up with a driver that works with Apple Silicon, I wouldn't get my hopes up. However, LaCie's driver is using IOSCSIParallelInterfaceController, which is deprecated since macOS 12 and may or may not be available in macOS 14. With the most recent LaCie Raid Manager installed and having Kernel Extensions enabled, speeds increased to 700MB/s read and 1700MB/s write on an uninitialized RAID 5 (12 x 4TB).With the most recent LaCie Raid Manager installed (and allowing the Extension from `Seagate Technologies LLC`, but still having Kernel Extensions disabled), it connected via USB 2.0 (480Mbits) and speeds were in the 35MB/s range.Without a driver installed, the volume wasn't mounted.I've recently got my hands on a 12big 48TB, connected to a Mac Studio running macOS Ventura 13.2 and LaCie Raid Manager 2.9.4.437 (which isn't downloadable directly from LaCie, but is offered within the Raid Manager App once launched). (I am not an expert on the hardware side.)ĮDIT: This Terramaster D5 with Thunderbolt 3 seems to be the only hardware RAID enclosure available without drives? I'm not finding any 'Thunderbolt 4' capable RAID enclosures, although Thunderbolt 3 might be just the same speed with regular HDDs running RAID 5 anyway? Also, I want RAID 5 for capacity, but I really don't like 4 bay RAID 5 setups, would rather find a 5 or 6 drive RAID? I'm not the RAID expert though.Īny thoughts/recommendations appreciated. ![]() Verifying a disk ensures that it can be read without errors. Backups are on an older/slow 5 bay NAS RAID5 SoftRAID’s Verify allows you to test your disks without destroying any of the the volumes, or data, on them. I currently have about 30TB of data spread across the existing Mac Pro internal drives (has small SSD boot and scratch disks, the rest large HDDs with a reference-drive 'home' folder). The 2TB internal SSD would handle active editing, with completed projects moved to the RAID with something like 5 14tb drives, where I might occasionally make further edits (still want speed, but cost/capacity are more important). My thought is to replace my aging Mac Pro (2010) with a maxed out M1 MM and a Thunderbolt RAID5. Simply connect the Mercury Elite Pro Quad via the included USB-C cable to experience next-level performance. Pro photog here, looking for recommendations for best RAID solution for the M1 Mac Mini. The Mercury Elite Pro Quads powerful USB-C interface delivers 10Gb/s 1 USB 3.1 Gen 2 bandwidth and works with any USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 equipped Mac or Windows PC. ![]()
