Solved - G-Raid G-Speed Studio 12 TB RAID and OS Ventura

G-Technology G-SPEED & G-SAFE

I built a Ventura external boot disk drive and tested my old G-RAID G-Speed Studio 12 TB Raid with the new operating system. Happy to say it worked!

I can only claim that it works on a G-RAID G-Studio 12 TB RAID.

1 – Building the Ventura Boot Disk; I had problems creating one based on the instructions from the Apple site. I used Howard Oakley’s phenomenal step-by-step guide and his directions (written Nov 10. 2022) worked on the very first try. He did a few things differently than other directions and videos I have seen. I used a G-Mobile SSD formatted on APFS/GUID. I appreciated the fact that he did not use any “Terminal” commands.

Here is the link to the instructions.

I have added Ron’s link to my support case.

How can it be that WD hasn’t updated its own support database on this issue and is instead leaving it to customers to fix the problem for them?

So frustrating.
