Does This particular model have the 128GB + 128GB RAID Solid State Hardrive? It isn't clear..

It's not clear here, but yes, it has the two SSDs in RAID configuration. They are rather nice!

It has both - "SuperRAID" which is 3 128GB SSDs in a RAID 0 configuration and a 1TB 5400rpm harddrive (slow to save really big files). The SSD's work well and it is nice have the extra 1 TB of space if you need it. (Good place for movies, photo's, etc)

Nope. I purchased the diskless server as well. The one with disks just ship with WD Reds.

yes, I have two of these boxes, & I set them to either raid 0 or leave it at the default which is JBOD. Currently, I buy a lot of Seagate Barracuda 4 terabyte drives, and swap them in and out of these boxes per my various jobs. I work off of the one box that I have at 16 terabytes raid 0, & I back up to the JBOD single drives. it all works fine, & I configure everything using Disk Utility.

the A7298 that I purchased did have said drive. NB you will need to check the specs as some of these units ship with 16 / 32 gigs of memory and the HDD MAY be different depending on the actual specs you need to view.

Its a RAID 0 (two drives splitting the data) with two 128gb SSD's creating a logical 256gb hard drive.

Hi FYI I dont think that the unit will support a drive over 3TB. 2TB is the limit. But maybe the unit you get will You should make sure to check on that. mine does not. Sorry I cant answer you question I have never tried RAID with my units they are just dumb drives.

No, I am using it in a non-raid setup. I did try to use it with a 2 TB drive as a 4th drive. It didn't work. I then put a 500 MB drive on it and it worked. I put the 2 TB directly on a standard sata port.

Yes, it comes with two 7200 rpm drives already in place. And it is capable of being set for either Raid 1 or Raid 0. Just remember that if you decide to change between either Raid 1 or 0 that you will lose all data previously saved. So make sure you know which one you want to use before starting.

That is the theory of a RAID 5. I had a 4TB drive fail after a month on duty. Western Digital immediately sent me a new one, I plugged it in and it took about four days to re-establish the full RAID. My 16TB with 12 TB usable space on RAID 5 was loaded with 4TB of records. So, if you want to upgrade your system one drive at a time, better be patient.

4Tb in RAID 0 (striped) mode. It comes with 2x2Tb drives so only 2Tb in RAID 1 mode.

Either is possible, it has two drives in it and can be used as Raid 1 or you can use them as Raid 0. From recollection it comes preconfigured to be used as Raid 0 - taking more advantage of the the thunderbolt interface.

The hot swap functionality should be located in the raid controller not the drives, aside from possibilly energy feature on drive. I think you have drive optimized for network storage.

The unit I purchased came with a 500GB HDD. I don't know if it's offered with other options.

It appears that the other hard drive has comparable specs. However it comes with a different firmware. Otherwise I think it is likely a matter of packaging and marketing.

Doesn't matter both have similar specs. I have these and WD black drives in my system, I run them both in raid 0 and both arrays perform about the same.
