When I got a trashcan mac I also got an OWC thunderbolt 2 external drive bay to go with it. Unfortunately, not only is it a bit loud, but when I use it as thunderbolt rather than USB it has a tendency to disconnect from my mac, so that I'm constantly getting warnings about missing drives etc.
Rather than investing in another external T-bolt bay, I want to get a USB-C external drive bay, and just use a T-bolt to USB-C adapter. USB-C cables are a lot less expensive, and I'll be able to use it with newer machines. I don't need RAID. At the moment my backup strategy uses multiple copies of JBOD drives. I don't mind it being something that would allow me to switch to RAID later, or I'll just invest in a newer NAS when it's time to retire my older Synology. My main archive is large enough that I don't want to hang multiple external drives off my computer. I need at least two drive bays, three or more would be better. Does anyone have experience with a good, quiet, preferably inexpensive, USB-C external drive enclosure? -- Larry Colen l...@red4est.com sent from ret13est -- %(real_name)s Pentax-Discuss Mail List To unsubscribe send an email to pdml-le...@pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
