I bought a 6tb My Book Thunderbolt duo and, before use, did some checking of specs. I found conflicting information.
The data sheet for the product says:
“Customize this dual-drive storage system to your needs – RAID 0 for speed, RAID 1 for data protection, JBOD to use the drives individually.”
However the data sheet for the green drives it contains says:
“Desktop drives are not recommended for use in RAID environments. Please consider using WD RedTM hard drives for home and small office 1-5 bay NAS systems”
Since I intend to use software RAID 1 I have concerns. Do green drives work reliably in RAID configuration or not?
