to an iMac via Thunderbolt. I’d prefer to use the 2 HD in it as 2 separate HD: One for my working files (mostly graphic files like InDesign data and images) and the other one for Time Machine backup of the first HD AND the internal HD in the iMac.
Would this work?
And additionally this question: The HDMI connection in the G-RAID can be used to daisy chain a display - right? In this case the display is DVI and would be connected with an DVI on HDMI adapter. Again: Would this work - too?
You can definitely use the drive in the manner you wish. You will need to download our configurator and change the drive to a JBOD, which makes them individual and will both mount separately.
The HDMI to DVI is not a use case I have been aware of but it should work just fine.
I had a bit of a research on the internet just to find out about JBOD and make sure things will work in the intended way. What I found is quite contradictory information. It seems like it depends on the manufacturer of a HD controller whether a JBOD mounts hard drives separately or combines them to one logic drive.
Just to make sure: Do you know for certain that JBOD will result in two separate drives for the device that we are talking about (G-RAID Thunderbolt 3)?
I have similar question. I realize they are two separate drives mounted in one enclosure however, if set a JBOD will OSX see them as two separate and individual disk drives or as is common with many RAID controllers that support JBOD combine multiple drives storage into one larger drive available to the OS?
