    Need to migrate a RAID10 array to a better storage solution

    I have been using a Mac Mini 2012 as a file server. I upgraded the storage to a four disk HFS+ RAID10 array in an [external RAID enclosure](https://www.newegg.com/orico-3559rus3-bk/p/0VN-0003-00023?Item=9SIA1DS0CD0629) via macOS Disk Utility. However, I have had a lot of trouble with the storage...

    WD My Book Duo: Use device raid/encryption or Disk Utility?

    Hey there, just got a WD My Book Duo. I'd like to set it up as a RAID 1 and use encryption. Question is, do I use WD's utility to set up RAID and encryption? Or just use Disk Utility? The drive has Hardware Encryption, which I guess won't be used if I enable encryption via Disk Utility? Same...

    G-Speed Shuttle TB3 RAID Compatibility?

    I am currently on tech support with G-Technology and they believe that the G-Speed Shuttle TB3 is compatible with Apple Silicon M1 / Big Sur; however, I cannot get my drives to mount on the new M1 MacBook Pro. Has anyone had any luck mounting G-Technology RAID drives on their M1 Silicon machines?

    RAID always working since Catalina

    Ever since installing Catalina, I've noticed that my RAID is constantly working. It never stops. The data seems fine and the drives aren't reporting any issues.

    MP 7,1 Slot Utility App on New Mac Pro

    Is anyone familiar with how the Slot Utility App functioned on the old Mac Pro? I plan on getting the new Mac Pro 2019, and want to know how bandwidth can be allocated in respect to a lot of the "Pro-Apps" that Apple has teamed up with. If I planned on adding on PCIe NVMe RAID Cards that...

    RAID question: Adding Bigger Hard Drives to a RAID1 Setup
