Building a cross system set from “folders” requires selecting the volumes “folder”. That requires ejecting some drives first to keep them from indexing; and makes it impossible to keep the bold drive out of the list. I can manually go back and remove the boot drive. I have to say neofinder is...

weird question Anyone know a good platform that would allow me to create a single virtual volume display from 20+ drives? I don’t actually want to use a raid setup. I LIKE having full control over what disk any one file is on… it gives me the ability to add and remove disks at will and know...

At the moment I go between 27-30 USB attached SATA SSDs. each between 256GB and 4TB, majority 1TB. All are Samsung 860 or 870s Sabrent SATA to USB3 adaptors All APFS case sensitive. All unique names. three ACASIS USB hubs. Each powered. One fed into another, one on it’s own port. I have a...

Anyone know how many drives can be daisy-chained to a late 2017 iMac via USB hubs?

Thanks. Twotwotwo for the fast reply. looking through the web page linked it appears to be quite limited in support info. I haven’t dug through the manual yet. But so far it matches the EVO line of Samsung NvMe drives I’d use. I can’t find anything on site limits or raid options. But software...

Just one question? JBOD? I don’t care about raid. I currently use internal SATA SSDs with SATA to usb 3.1/3.2 plugged in to a USB3x hub connected to my Mac via USB3. Adding 4 drives to a single port would be nice. If I can do away with the raid nonsense. Yes I know the what and why of raid...

BIGPINKDRAGON286 Hit the target. The only thing user account control stops is the manual installation of software or manual changes to the system. Being, you the user did something. You clicked something. You hit enter and didn’t pay attention. Etc. It’s annoying protection for stupid people...

I have only one thought on the GDPR... who’s going to PAY ME for all the WASTED time I need to spend going back and having to OPT IN to everything I was previously opted in to? Because someone IS going to compensate me!

RE:bit user No; actually I prefer the AOLv8.5 model. A safe, controlled walled garden. A gigantic door that says beware dragons and we’re not responsible if you get eaten. Mozilla and Google so this with their browser/API wares. Android is somewhat permissive with it and Linux... well you...

Bgunner: you just pointed out an exact mirror of an issue I have. I purchased a few movies on steam and the don’t work anywhere except in steam. As I said; hating on Apple, or Microsoft, etc is just cliche. Ios has always been a walled garden. Say what you will for Android, but buy any...

iTunes’ tos is quite accurate in what you can use for viewing. Or did you just expect Apple to be different than anyone else?

I’ll answer my own question. Just so others have the info. Most of the attempts I made were via JBOD and all either had errors or failed outright almost immediately. Looks like units that have a raid controller simply won’t work in this method. However Solution: dock units. I found a few...
