Does Lacie External HD work with Sequoia?

[kryptticAZ]

I have a Lacie 6 Big external hard drive and I'm wondering if it's going to keep working after I install Sequoia. I'm on 14.6.1 now and it's already finicky with the RAID manager (complaining about not having permission to access files and folders and some users stating that they can't change the RAID format).

Anyone using a Lacie external RAID successfully with Sequoia that can assuage my fears?

Don't update to Sequoia yet. It borked my Lacie Raid kext driver and I can't reinstall it until they fix the system extension security and SIP issue.

Edit: I have a Lacie 12 Big for reference.

Yikes. Is this a Lacie issue that will be fixed by a driver update or an Apple issue?

I really think it's an Apple problem. It was all working correctly through the betas and broke when RC was released and since public is the same build as RC, it remains broken.

I did see a few Reddit and Twitter posts saying Apple is aware and releasing a fix soon.

I think I'll wait a bit to make the jump though. Losing that expensive RAID drive would be major bummer.

Can you share a link to any of those posts? I'd like to stay in the know for when I finally decide to make the jump. Thanks!

Sure. I've been posting in this thread.

Rumors seem to point to a Friday release that will supposedly fix this and installation issues.

I posted an update in the other thread above. If you're not in a rush to update, I'd probably still wait to see if Apple releases a fix in 18.0.1 on Friday or early next week so you don't have to go through the hassles.
