External Storage Solutions Help Needed

[Grant]

You need two paired drives with the GMAX...and by paired we mean drives of the same size and from the same manuf. The same manuf brand is especially key as they all have different LBA (logical block addressing) routines and in order for ANY RAID array to work properly, the LBA must be consistent across all the drives.

The really sharp buyer gets a spare third drive at time of purchase so they have that matching drive just waiting if needed. Cheap insurance for that valued data.

Btw...the LBA numbers are printed right on HD labels.

Hope that helps!
