N.B at 0:50 I have written RAID as "Random" Array of Independent Disks and NAS as Network "Assisted" Storage, I continued this misrepresentation throughout the video. These are typos and are NOT correct. RAID stands for *Redundant Array of Independent Disks* and NAS - *Network Attached Storage* I apologize for the confusion.

Glad to see a new upload! Welcome back :)

@danielkaranja7978 2 года назад

RAID is an underlying technology for data redundancy and is independent of NAS, SAN or the type of disk (nvme, SATA, SAS, etc).)

@BlueEyesDY 2 года назад

Never use RAID-0 for data you care about. It offers no redundancy, and the chance of failure increases linearly with the number of drives. If any drive dies you lose _ALL_ data on the array.

@Channel8eight 2 года назад

I'm giving RAID0 a go because I want to see the sort of reliability I can get from these drives overtime.

@BlueEyesDY 2 года назад

@@Channel8eight As long as you understand the risks. There will be no redundancy. Even one drive failure will result in complete data lose, and with four drives you will have four times the risk of failure.

@BlueEyesDY 2 года назад

@@Channel8eight If you still want to go with RAID-0 I recommend a good backup plan.

@isocle 2 года назад

It doesn't scale linearly, it's quadratically. Each drive you add doubles the probability of failure, so 2^n, where n is the number of drives in the RAID 0 array.

@OnYourLeft 4 месяца назад

If you have a backup that is big enough, RAID 0 is fine for normal use. But for constant use with a lot of mission critical stuff, RAID 5, 10, 50, etc. are much better options.

I just made the leap. (8) 4TB Crucial P3 Plus NVME's to put in 2 OWC express's to create (2) 16TB. Wish i could afford the 8tb NVME chips. I'm also also fascinated by the NVME 2230 chips.

Does Sabrent Thunderbolt 3 Dual NVMe Enclosure work with M2 Macbook Pro ?

@donross7820 Год назад

Thank you! You really know your stuff. You are so right about M.2 external enclosures but they vary in speed. I just made an OWC Express 4m2 enclosure with Samsung 980 PRO 2 TB X4. I used Apple Disc Utility to make a RAID level 0. It gets 2500 r/w. I also have 2 Acasis enclosures, one using a Samsung 980 PRO 2TB and the other using Samsung 990 PRO 2 TB. They both get 2800 r/w. I copied a 22 GB folder from my dinosaur Seagate 8 TB to the 4M2 and it took 2 minutes. I copied the same folder from the 4M2 to the Acasis and it took 10 seconds!! Spinning hard drives have now officially gone the way of cassette tapes.

@eliteman7685 8 месяцев назад

How has that enclosure held up? Fan issues? Have the two outer M.2 drives failed due to heat? I want to go this route but keep seeing OWC hasn’t improved the issues with fans failing after 8-12 months of usage.

This video is fab! I've been thinking about making a RAID/NAS for a while as working off multiple 2.5" HDDs has gotten pretty messy. The OWC 4 bay totally checks all the boxes, as I didn't require the networking and power consumption of a NAS but do need fast speeds and RAID data redundancy!

@Channel8eight 2 года назад

M.2 arrays seem to be the way to go moving into the future, the speeds are simply unmatched. I will be upgrading to the OWC express 4M2 soon, so make sure you’re subsumption when that video comes out 😎

@peterneerdaels604 2 года назад

Is NAS sometimes referred to as network assisted storage or was that a slip?

@Channel8eight 2 года назад

You are absolutely right, that was an oversight on my end. I have addressed the errors in a pinned comment at the top of this video. Apologies.

@MattReidy 2 года назад

RAID stands for redundant array of inexpensive disks or redundant array of independent disks, not random... ;)

@mendyc158 2 года назад

No, he is right 0:50 you said redundant but you wrote random Also there is too much desinformation on this video as a whole that it hurts if you know about it Specially all the NAS part, does seem you got no idea and just think a NAS is those prebuilt ones, when you can use pretty much anything as a NAS without much configuration

@jesuschal3802 2 года назад

@@Channel8eight regardless how you got it, you wrote it wrong. BTW, that is not a typo but an erratum.

This has just come to my attention. I apologize for the confusion and misrepresentation in the slides.

@scottfranco1962 2 года назад

Why in the WORLD would you use rotating drives for video? I used to work in the disk drive industry and in fact moved over to engineering on NVMe drives. Rotating drives always had severe compromises for real time data. It only really got "fixed" by sticking big caches on the drives.

@Channel8eight 2 года назад

Seems like a lot of users still opt for spinning disks because of the cost factor.

@neil101 2 года назад

Ummm. NAS enclosures. Noise, heat, vibration !!! Utter nonsense. Get your facts correct.

@analdevastation1088 2 года назад

It's okay to use these for editing, but for long term storage SSDs are expensive and more likely to lose data than a 3.5 inch drive NAS

@Channel8eight 2 года назад

I think you are right, it all comes down to TBW and it seems like legacy spinning disks are still able to last for longer.

@dobermanownerforlife3902 Год назад

Depends on usage. For me as a media server, things get written once. Then read many times. The write limit of ssds are never threatened. For editing and such, I can see that being a downside.
