Q: 5. I have this drive array with smaller drives and I would like to replace them with larger drives. How would I do that? What specs do I need for the drives? How do I transfer data from the existing drives? How do I install the new drives? Many thanks!

A: You will need to backup the information to an external drive and use any larger capacity SATA III 3.5" Drives. You would use a checksum software which is great to have for large and critical files. This can check every bit of the transfer and provide verification. A checksum software to look into Hedge. Please see the link: https://hedge.video/hedge. One can technically transfer files/folders from the source to the new destination, but it is a nice safety measure to get verification at the end of the transfer. After backing up, install the new drives and build the RAID you want and transfer the data to the new drives.

[1x Fan] an absolute power house for larger and longer jobs. this rad is a tank and insanely fast especially with the new cards and resolutions and information coming out on cameras. downloads an alexa s35 card full in 20 minutes. 5

[1x Fan] I think this is a fine drive. It's fast, quiet and runs cool. I've been using it for a week so far putting it through the demands and have had no issues. Their warranties seem to be terrific. Hopefully one doesn't need to use it, but the fact that they can overnight a drive to you if yours goes down is a big plus. 5

[36 TB] This is my 3rd glyph pro RAID. I love the drives and the company. This unit is quiet and plenty fast for my needs. Would not hesitate to recommend. 5

[macOS] I call my new drive my Big Black Box and it's build like a tank. Loaded over 35T of data via time machine in just 2-3 days which is much faster that other drives I've used. Only had it about 10 days but so far, so good!! Happy the B&H tech (forgot his hand- my bad) suggested this vs the G-raid. 5

[36 TB] I do photography which takes up a lot of room. I had 6 external drives totaling 12T. This drive replaced all of them as well as doing an automatic backup. I was also able to eliminate one docking station and 2 USB extenders. My office is so much neater. Well worth the price. One thing to note - check your power settings to have this drive on all the time as it takes a bit to come up after being powered down. 5

[Aluminum] We run multiple units on set for backups, no issues and they've been very reliable. 5

[550 MB/s ] Upgraded from their 16TB RAID box. This is my third RAID system from Glyph. Their quality standards and customer service are second to none. Excellent products. 5
