![]() And of course you can back up to more than one backup storage system whether or not you're running a RAID array if you want protection against multiple drive failures. ![]() But you don't really need RAID at all as there are other approaches like just storing images on one drive and then backing up to another drive or to cloud storage which also achieves the big goal of making sure you don't lose your images with a single drive failure. Setting up a RAID array is one way to make sure you have redundant storage (depending on the RAID level chosen) but personally I prefer hardware RAID solutions that tend to be a lot faster than software RAID. ![]() OWC, the premier zero-emissions Mac and PC technology company, and a respected provider of Memory, External Drives, SSDs, Mac & PC Docking Solutions, Network Attached Storage, and Performance Upgrade Kits, has announced the all-new OWC Accelsior 8M2.Click to expand.I"d say you should have some form of storage redundancy for your image files if they're important to you. The OWC Accelsior 8M2 brings impressive speed and storage capacity to 2019 Mac Pros, Windows or Linux computers, and PCIe expansion systems. ![]() It utilizes the total bandwidth of the latest PCIe technology and has a highly efficient heat dissipating design to provide ultra-reliable speeds up to 26,000MB/s. Creating the fastest PCIe SSD meant combining bold engineering with the latest technology. #Owc softraid xt fullĮach OWC Accelsior 8M2’s eight NVMe M.2 SSD slots can run at their full x4 lanes of data throughput. The OWC Accelsior 8M2 offers total performance gains in so many diverse ways that it lets you create without limits:Īll that insanely fast speed through an entire PCIe 4.0 x16 lane architecture with up to 64TB of storage. Quickly offload essential data to cloud archives for more advanced IoT managementĪs a high-performance NVMe-based storage solution, the OWC Accelsior 8M2 delivers the consistent low latency data throughput required in edge computing applications such as industrial automation, smart city ecosystems, and smart retail solutions. It feeds CPUs and GPUs huge amounts of data lightning-fast for real-time predictive analytics. With 60% of storage professionals using NVMe SSDs to process large data sets generated at the edge, OWC Accelsior 8M2 is more than a competitive advantage. And to ensure OWC Accelsior 8M2 keeps running at peak speed for the long haul, there’s a quiet cooling fan in the aircraft-grade aluminum heat shield. There are no compromises, just the ultra-reliable performance that Mac and PC users have come to depend on from OWC storage solutions. "We are always trying to push technology to the limits, and with the OWC Accelsior 8M2, can be summed up in one definitive sentence," said Larry O'Connor, CEO, and Founder of OWC. "It's the fastest, highest-capacity PCIe SSD in the galaxy.Configurations up to 84TB. Available in RAID edition (includes SoftRAID XT) or standard edition. The OWC Thunderbay 6 houses six hard drives or SSDs of either 3.5" or 2.5" form factor. OWC supplies a one-meter Thunderbolt cable with the Thunderbay. The Thunderbay 6 RAID edition includes software RAID via SoftRAID. Optional M.2 NVMe SSD (such as the Samsung 970 EVO).Supports RAID 0, 1, 4, 5 and 1+0 (10) via OWC's advanced SoftRAID engine.Up to 1125MB/s of sustained performance.Works with 3.5" or 2.5" drives - no adapter needed. The Thunderbay is a JBOD* solution (not a hardware RAID): the system sees all six drives as separate drives and thus it can be utilized that way using Apple’s Disk Utility or SoftRAID. * JBOD = Just a Bunch Of Disks, meaning each drive is seen independently. The JBOD approach is flexible in that it allows RAID-0, RAID-1, RAID 1+0 and RAID-4 or RAID-5 or six independent drives or any combination of these. OWC ships the RAID edition as a single large volume (e.g., 70TB for an 84TB Thunderbay 6). While this suit some users looking for huge large storage device, some users might opt for more than one volume, or to not use RAID at all. Partitioning can be done whether using RAID is used or not.
