I don't like to partake in Black Friday/Cyber Monday, but I couldn't resist these drives for 40% off retail, especially when I'd already been eyeing them anyways for the better part of a year. With these, I'm one step closer to constructing my home NAS. They've both been installed and tested in the OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual I bought back in February, so yeah at this rate I'll have the system up and running by 2024.
The OWC enclosure supports hardware RAID, but there's no software to really manage it so most people recommend leaving it in JBOD mode and constructing a software RAID on the host machine, which I suppose I'll do, once I get a host machine. Currently eyeing some of those super micro office PCs on eBay, since RasPi's basically haven't existed for the past 3 years.
