Satisfied
I needed a simple and effective solution to have a DAS and secure my data locally.
I decided on this Lacie system which is simple and reliable.
As for the reliability, we'll see in time.
The simplicity is there. It's very easy to set up a RAID1 to mirror the disks. However, too much simplicity also limits the possibilities. I'm talking of course about the built-in software. The backup settings are extremely limited if you go directly through the Lacie software. Fortunately on MacOS you can get around this with TimeMachine.
As I don't have a built-in equivalent in Windows, I'm trying to work out how to use Freefilessync. I think that in time I'll be able to do something decent but it's a shame not to have worked a bit more on the software at that price...
I'm not sure if I'll be able to do anything right, but it's a shame I didn't work a little harder on it at this price. It's a good idea to turn it off manually because it's tiring in the long run.
I am however satisfied with my purchase.
