My life is generally Mac and Thunderbolt centric and I’m trying to bring it into the Linux world. The work flow on the Mac goes immediate storage goes onto a 2TB external NVME, then to one of the two drive 4TB drives on my OWC open dock, then moves into a 16TB soft RAID array, and backup is on a 16TB HW raid all are thunderbolt enclosures. The issue I have is that mdam doesn’t work on either my Trixie or 26.04 install so I can’t convert my existing soft RAID to anything readable.
Does anyone know of a 8 bay preferably thunderbolt hardware RAID enclosure that isnt’t 1000 dollars?
Also software. Literally in the description and options.
There are very few use cases for hardware controllers anymore, and they are on SAN controllers at a massive scale. Every single device you point me to at under $50k is going to be software.
Just wanted to clarify so you understand.
