After buying two of these earlier this year I liked them so much I bought another two during Black Friday sales. They worked well once I received technical help from OWC to reformat my SoftRaid from Mirror, to Raid 1+0. Good thing I had spare space on another drive to backup my data!
I would recommend this product to a friend!

Used in a USB enclosure, then a Sonnet Thunderbolt dock as warm storage for video editing. It’s a hobby, no professional work, but I do transfer a few dozen GB of movie files at once when I reorganize, about once a month. Hefty price for the 8TB, but having one external drive big enough that I don’t ever have to worry about enough space was worth it. I have external HDs for archiving. My home server is an old Asus ultrabook with a SATA SSD, no card for NVME’s. Formatted to ExFAT, I could move files between the Asus & Aura, but the Finder on my Mac couldn’t isolate file names in a search. Had to reformat the Aura for just Mac. Runs fine now. Not its fault. Mine. MACSales was FANTASTIC in helping me sort out where and why things weren’t working as planned. Very happy with the product and the follow-up service! - Ryan
