Is this drive good for raid 1?

Any Western Digital RE drive is good for any raid type as thats what they're designed for I personally have mine setup as part of a 12 drive raid 5 array.

This hard drive is compatible with sata 6gb? I hope your early reply thank you in advance.

Not sure used it to replace a hard drive in a computer system. Check the documentation for the device you plan to use it in for compatibility

Yes, This drive will run fine in a RAID 0,1,5 setups. I have tested in all three formats and currently run 1 setup in a RAID 1 and a 2 setups in RAID 5's.

I'm not running it in raid so I can't answer that question, but it is a good hard drive.

sure be ok. it is ok when i use the 1Tb. but it is better that you check with the Seagate service team

I just wanted to add that RAID 1 means 2 3TB drives will show up as 3TB (not 6TB) as it is a "mirrored" solution (and what I would recommend). So the MAX capacity in that set up is 4TB.

a Raid 5 will accomplish the same thing, while not requiring as many drives. The drives work together to increase speed, while they're also fault tolerent so 1 drive can crash without loss of information. If that's suitable, that would be the best option. You need at least 3 drives and the space will be 2/3 of the total capacity.

I agree with David, you can set it to Raid 0 for full storage space use. I prefer using Raid 1 for protection even though you drop the usable space in half. I like having my data replicated in case of failure.

that depends on you mother board...raid x is raid x ....but sata3 is way faster then 1 or 2 ... then thers how meany drive you put in raid vs the max speed of you raid card what ever it is

Although I am using two 1TB drives in RAID 1 mode, the manual says "2 x 2.5" SATA HDD, total capacity up to 6TB".

Can you run RAID that way? Id like to install 2 2TB drives, for large capacity RAID.

Yes, there are three options- Speed (Raid 0), Security (Raid 1), Capacity (JBOD) = Just a Bunch Of Drives or like you asked "two disks separately as two 2TB drives". https://www.lacie.com/us/products/product.htm?id=10573

All I can tell you is that I had this drive for 6 months and it works perfectly, it is 1.5TB. Again I can't compare because I have not owned the 1TB Blue SATA

Yes, the default is Synology Hybrid Raid (SHR) which is like RAID1 but more versatile.

sorry for my first reply, hit the wrong key. it has included the hard disks, you will find it also without it so you can chose the hd size you want in it. i do not know if can be used in raid 1 or 5, sorry.

Yes. That's exactly what I bought it for - extra ports. There is a message that pops up on booting about RAID but extra ports work as intended.

The G-Raid has 2x2TB drives. In a raid 0 (striping) you would get the whole 4tb. Its very fast in this arrangement, but with no redundancy. If you set it to raid 1, then you would get redundancy, but lose the space and speed. I have one attached to my Mac Pro and it performs like I expect. +1

It's either/or. When you set the drive up you have the choice of using the RAID 1 or 0 configuration. If you decide to change your mind later, you'll end up losing everything you've stored on the drive. I stuck with the RAID 1 config to provide redundancy, even though it cut the capacity by half.

If you buy cheap externals like I did yes but it will also force your RAID into read only. If you spend the extra on NAS drives then you're fine. It's not the enclosure that dictates that but the firmware on the drives themselves.

SATA is backwards compatible so it should be fine. In fact, if you are replacing a plater drive it should be faster even with the 1.5 Gb/sec bottleneck.
