Hi there,
we are thinking about purchasing the Lacie Biggest Quadra RAID enclosure
http://www.lacie.com/products/product.htm?pid=10950
Unfortunately in the manual it is written that replacing the hard drives
with third party drives voids the warranty.
This is a pity but we can stand that, as long as the unit actually
RECOGNIZES third party drives! (standard 3.5" SATA drives...)
Lacie of course doesn't mention this...
We need to know this answer because the replacement drives that Lacie
sells are WAY too expensive. We wouldn't buy the unit if other brands
are not supported.
Anybody knows the answer?
Or anybody can suggest a similar object hosting at least 4 drives with
raid-5 which is RELIABLE, can be configured MANUALLY with precision
(i.e. does not try to reformat the array by itself if you change the
drives, etc...), and supports drives of any brand?
Thank you
