Heres something I learned today about the newer Graid 20TB with thunderbolt.
- G-RAID with Thunderbolt (Thunderbolt only):
The G-RAID with Thunderbolt does not use a configuration tool, it is a Software RAID solution. On macOS it is managed with Disk Utility, please see Answer ID 14042: How to use Disk Utility to Create a RAID 0 Array and Answer ID 14045: How to use Disk Utility to Create a RAID 1 Array. Apple has removed the ability to manage Software RAID drives with the Disk Utility in macOS 10.11 (El Capitan), it can still manage it via the Terminal or using a 3rd party solution called SoftRAID.
I have tried putting bigger drives in the 4TB Graid and it worked but there was no speed increase. Attempts to put the same drives into the 20TB Graid chassis aren't working. The configuration tool doesn't work but it sounds like now disk utility is the way to go but I get issues as I try to initialize/erase the drives when they are in the 20TB Graid chassis. The drives in the 20TB chassis are dated in 2016 so I think this is a thunderbolt 2 chassis. I'm only using usb 3 but I can't get the Graid configuration utility to see this chassis. It sees the older 4TB chassis which seems to be from 2014 just fine.
My latest test to the 20TB Graid shows 4 hours 20 minutes to export. Given the above info from Graid I'm surprised that this is apparently software raid and not hardware raid. I always thought hardware raid was faster. So many curiosities.
