Easy to set up on my Mac Pro running Mohave - did format as a RAID set up as a protected 6TB space - so far very stable - it has only been a month - so we shall see if it is as durable as my Promise Pegasus and Synology NAS units (5 years and 7 years respectively). Adorama was great to deal with.

My first purchase of this unit had a glitch. It didn’t want to stay mounted. Adorama gladly exchanged it for another and all is good now. Very happy with this drive and Adorama!

This is my 2nd LaCie 2Big drive. My first was a 2x6Tb which I run as a RAID-0 (mirrored drives). The new 2x8Tb is daisy chained to my iMac via Thunderbolt. They are fast & dependable.
