![]() ![]() RAID 6 has taken its slot, though it loses a little capacity in favor of a better parity scheme. That said, neither work very well with 4 or fewer drives. You really need 6 or 7 to make them a good quality, robust solution. With four, your best options are RAID 0 or RAID "10". RAID 0 is a bunch of disks striped together with no rududancy or safety net. ![]() Useful for speed and capacity, but if one fails, they all fail. The multidock only takes SSDs and small format drives.ฤก0 is two RAID 0 's mirrored to each other, so you only have the speed and capacity of two drives. I tried doing a RAID 0 on one a couple of weeks ago. The Disk Utility told me it RAIDed the four SSDs, but my capacity didn't increase at all. I scratched my head for a minute, and moved on. But I thought I did, and it looked like it just didn't work. Maybe someone else has a positive experience they can share about it. Next up, I have to ask if you are sure you even need a RAID. I wouldn't think you'd even see that much benefit from it. If you were doing uncompressed video, you'd need one. But with the interfaces being faster, and the speed of SSDs, I'm not so sure you are in need of one. A Multidock is a pretty cool unit for dropping in SSDs and editing, and moving on. Just a short clarification on RAID 5 & 6 in general terms I've never tried to use a multidock for RAID, although the blurb does say they can be striped But I didn't have success on my one attempt at a RAID on it, and I don't think your needs require a RAID anyway. RAID 5 works perfectly well with 3 drives or more. With RAID 5 you will always lose the capacity of 1 drive, but as you increase the amount of drives on the RAID you will still only lose the space of 1 drive. ![]()
