[QUOTE="malfromcessnock, post: 1463715, member: 261339"] Hi forum members I want to throw away my many 1TB hard drives and move to this monster LaCie 4TB 2big Thunderbolt Series RAID Hard Drive - so I can simplify my storage. Do the members have experience and recommendations about this particular hardware. I currently have 3 x 1TB drives for data and 3 x 1TB ext drives for backup and I fear sometimes my system gets in a muddle and slows due to this complex setup. They are connected to my 2012 MBP current OS X via the two USB ports. I'm using 2 4x Belkin Powered Adaptors. I reason that I'd connect one LaCie 4TB 2big Thunderbolt Series RAID Hard Drive to the Thunderbolt connection and use that one striped at a 4TB drive and daisy chain a second LaCie 4TB 2big Thunderbolt Series RAID Hard Drive for backup. What do you people think of this proposal? Can you see any problems with it other than the AUS$1300 it will cost for the hardware? Incidentally - I plan on keeping one USB Drive and attach it to a USB port (lol) for use with Time Machine to backup my 125GB System SSD. Hope to sell the remainder on eBay Cheers, Mal AU [/QUOTE]
