Hard Drives - D5 Thunderbolt 3

Post by wknd_warrior »

Hi.

I just purchase a D5 Thunderbolt 3 series, and looking to do raid 5 on 3 to 4 bays, and use the the last bays as a back up RAID 0/1. Is that possible ?
I missed out on cyber week sales, and looking to get a minimum of 6tb to 10tb hard drives. I am on the fence between Irongate and WD Red.

I see at newegg seagate has a EXOS 10tb on sale, is it possible to use the EXOS enterprise series ? I heard the hard drives are on all the time, and with the D5 thunderbolt 3 series when the mac goes to sleep the hard drives are at sleep as well.

Any help with great deals on harddrives be awesome.

Thank you
