Review on πŸ’ͺ Ultra-durable 10TB MiniPro Dura RAID USB 3.1 (USB-C) Portable Rugged Hard Drive - High-performance Storage Solution! by David Blackstock

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Small is good

I switched from a PC to a new Mac mini and wanted a new raid box for the new system. After searching for many options, the Mini Pro Raid V3 seemed like a good choice. First I had to change the file type of all my files on the PC. I copied the old raid to a 4TB hard drive formatted as XFAT. This new raid box is 1/5 smaller than the old one and very well made. I ordered one with 10TB of storage and prepared it as RAID 1 (mirrored) to copy my 2TB of files onto. The process was very simple and the device assembled perfectly. There was a mistake, all mine! Only one light blinked (hard drive) and I contacted their support team. I immediately received an email with instructions. I HOLD THE RESET BUTTON LONG ENOUGH. A support rep helped me reinitialize the device on a Mac mini (I've never had a Mac) and everything was perfect again. This is a great alternative to a huge RAID enclosure and I'm very happy with it!

Pros
  • Configurable for JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1 and large modes. No software required.
Cons
  • Very expensive
