Review on ⚡ Highpoint RocketStor 6661A Thunderbolt 3 to PCIe 3.0 X16 Expansion Chassis: Enhance your system with lightning-fast connectivity! by Sonny Nevers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

This is NOT a HARDWARE RAID!

Cons. - The latest driver does not work on Mac OS 10.14, it is not possible to load the driver of the old version. Now the driver only works on 10.15 (with the latest 10.15 update, the first version of 10.15 does not work) - Not on hardware RAID (this is not mentioned in the specification and description). Since this is not hardware RAID, using RAID 1 will reduce speed by 50%. Pay attention to the speed limit on TB3 and TB2, using RAID1 on TB2 is very slow. When using RAID 1 on TB3, the speed is slightly slower than without RAID. - When creating a RAID, do not connect to another device that is not created in the RAID. It is easy for the hard drive to fail and data to be lost. It is recommended that you only connect to the device that was used to create the RAID. - very expensive compared to other software RAIDs with external TB3 enclosure. Pros - Better thermal design compared to other external SSD enclosures. but a little noisy (if you don't need noise, this is not the best choice) - if necessary, you can put an internal card in the PC.
