DAS backup

#1
Firstly, the NasCompares videos are incredible. I'm referring to a video called "Alternataive to the Drobo 5D3 in 2023". I'm in need of a DAS that will be used as not a working drive, but an automated nightly backup of a very fast SSD RAID that I just set up. My requirements are pretty simple: I just need the SATA SSD to be able to "auto-mount" in MacOS at a given time, so my backup software (Carbon Copy Cloner) can mirror my SSD raid, which is 32TB. I'd like a 48TB SATA backup, to account for some capacity cushioning. I'm running a MacStudio M1 Ultra w/ TB3/4. I'm looking for cheap. The DAS backup doesn't have to be silent or fast. Thanks!

For your DAS backup needs, considering your requirement for a cheap solution without the need for silence or speed, the TerraMaster D8-332 could be a suitable option. It features 8 bays, USB 3.1 Gen2 host connectivity, and a 40Gb Thunderbolt 3 port. The D8-332 supports various RAID configurations, including JBOD, RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 10, providing flexibility for your backup setup. With a warranty of 2 years and compatibility with both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch SATA drives, it offers a cost-effective solution for your backup needs. You can also consider other options such as the Pegasus3 R6 or the LaCie 6big Thunderbolt, depending on your specific preferences and requirements.
