![]() It has pretty good reviews (and really thorough ones), though it does look like this model dates back to 2013. Oyen Digital Mobius 5-Bay FireWire 800, eSATA, USB 3.0 RAID Hard Drive Enclosure But the way this is talking it sounds like I would instead have two 10TB volumes? Is there a different model that does not have this limitation? I am not seeing much else on Amazon under "Mediasonic Proraid" that looks similar Mediasonic Raid USB C 3.1 4 Bay 3.5 SATA Hard Drive Enclosure with USB Hub 60W Power Delivery 3.0 4K HDMI Monitor Extender SDXC Reader Features USB Type C USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps (HFR7-SU31CD). I wanted to use 4x 10TB hard drives, as a single 20TB volume with RAID 1. Raid Configuration info can be downloaded at Technical Specification (Application Guide) below It does not have Raid 5 feature nor ONE large volume of drive. This unit can only create TWO sets of Raid array of 2 drives each. Mediasonic Raid USB 3.1 Type C 4 Bay 3.5” SATA Hard Drive Enclosure with USB 3.1 Hub Feature – USB 3.1 Gen 2 10Gbps (HFR7-SU31CH) Thanks this sounds a lot closer to what I was looking for I am assuming that the "internal" here refers to the internal drives and "external" refers to other drives you would plug into it via usb Mediasonic PRORAID is a 4 bay 3.5 SATA hard disk drive enclosure with hardware embedded raid function. External: Btrfs, ext4, ext3, FAT, NTFS, HFS+, exFAT.However it lists that internal storage only support ext4 and Btrfs, neither of which are gonna be macOS compatible (I do not actually plan to use this device as a Plex server, just an SMB share, but extra flexibility built-in to the storage device is always welcome)įor example, I was looking at the Synology-DS418play So, what is the best option for this? Obviously the device would need to support access via USB connection (how do you know if a NAS device supports this?), and would need to support RAID (does hardware vs software RAID matter on NAS devices?)Īfter not finding any good results on Newegg, etc., I started just going down this list here of Plex compatible devices, figuring that more compatibility = higher qualityīut that does not help much with my other issues of knowing if these devices will even work for this purpose attached to Mac Mini over USB However, I want this storage connected to the Mac Mini via USB. It seems like the only quality products are all NAS devices. All the search results on Newegg and similar for "RAID Enclosure" look terrible. However I am having trouble finding decent enclosures to use for this. I have a 10TB Western Digital external USB HDD that I want to migrate over to a RAID storage device (planning on 4x 10TB, RAID 1?). I want to use a Mac Mini as a file server. ![]()
