Product Solution Recommendation Please

Post by walksonair »

Hello, I am running Mac OS Catalina and am looking to purchase a hardware RAID 5 solution for direct attached storage.

I keep seeing the USB C and Thunderbolt 3 versions come up as I search for product solutions but I see that you have to download software to setup the RAID.

Are these DAS not hardware raid? What happens if I setup the RAID on one machine and then want to use the device on another w/o downloading the mfg software?

Thanks for your help.

If you are confirming a direct attached storage unit, the TerraMaster D5-300 and the D5 Thunderbolt 3 as well as the D8 Thunderbolt 3 are all hardware RAID 5 solutions.

The RAID manager software is used to configure the hard ware RAID card. As soon as your raid well set, you can use it on any computer without special software.
