Data Hoarder

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I have a Thunderbolt 3 G-Raid with two 4TB Ultrastars. I ordered two 14TB Seagate Expansions from Costco on Black Friday to shuck and upgrade the G-Raid.

I was expecting Ironwolf Pro or Exos x14 but am seeing some of the recently shucked drives are actually Exos 2x14.

Does anyone have experience using 2x SATA drives in a G-Raid enclosure?

I’ve read SAS drives will appear as half or separate drives but couldn’t find much about SATA.

Am I the Guinea pig? Should I back out before I start?
