Woah. SR came up with an error with 'an internal component' with 45 minutes left of the validation. And I'm thinking, d*mn. Luckily it does seem to ha...

Okay, so the first RAID finished validating. I rebooted and the second RAID that was constantly 'waiting' appeared to my relief, although there was th...

Cheers. Apparently it's a known but rare problem with the trashcan mac. It's going to the Apple shop for a check up next week. Currently waiting for o...

Okay, Drobos are terrible. And also my mac pro 2013 is acting up. Plugging in a TB2 cable into one port causes disconnection of the others. So one of ...

Okay, all done. 30TB SR RAID 5 CCC'd to a 29TB Drobo 5C 12TB SR RAID 5 CCC'd to a 11TB Drobo 5D, which is also backblazed. Fingers crossed

Cheers. So now I'm CCC'g my RAID 5 to a second TB4 RAID 5 and it's much quicker than the thunderbolt Drobo. I guess not all thunderbolts are the same.

Okay, so if I have 25TB data, with 2 TB4 enclosures with 8 x 10TB drives, should I do SR RAID 5 with one enclosure and CCC this to the second as backu...

Interesting. So I thought I'd 'backup' my 30TB SR RAID 5 to another TB4 4x10TB, and my 12TB 4x4 RAID 5 to a Drobo 5D. The latter has a thunderbolt 2 c...

Cheers. I have more OWC TB4 enclosures. I guess, I'm just a cheapskate for wanting to squeeze the last bit of 'value' from my USB enclosures.

Apologies. I used Apple RAID assistant to make what they call a JBOD volume, 5 drives in an Orico USB enclosure. This is my backup via CCC of my SR RA...

Thanks. Or should I get the full SR that allows me to put a RAID5 on an USB enclosure? I know that you don't recommend this, but would it be bette...

Cheers. It's the Apple RAID JBOD disks with problems. There have been no unclean shutdowns recently. And I already use CCC to clone the SR volumes to ...

Right, my big JBOD (Apple RAID, 5x6TB) which was backing up my TB4 with 4x10TB in a RAID 5 has had mounting errors again for the third time. As it ta...

Cheers. I bought Disk Drill Pro in the past, is that going to be comparable to DW for this purpose please? Regarding the upgrade to full Softra...
