LaCie 2big Dock Thunderbolt 3
16 TB
Question about LaCie 2big Dock Thunderbolt 3
I am interested in the Lacie 2big Dock 16TB. I would like to run the two 8TB hard drives in mirror mode. My question is, if I create another 2TB partition on one of the hard drives, will only the 6 remaining TB be mirrored or the whole 8TB or will this not work at all?
Helpful answer
In this configuration, both partitions are mirrored, i.e. HD1 partition 1 with 2 TB and partition 2 with 6 TB = HD2 partition 1 with 2 TB and partition 2 with 6 TB.
Works fine for me with 3 TB / 5 TB, Apple Time Machine goes to the 3 TB partition and is thus limited in the maximum size, i.e. does not fill the 2big endlessly.
Tip - pay attention to the correct formatting from the beginning, depending on the intended use. Hope this helps.
