I currently run flame using the SanDisk Professional PRO-BLADE STATION 16 TB. Unfortunately, the storage is parsed out between 4 drives, so it’s more like having 4TBX4. I’m finding it to be relatively slow. Does anyone have a drive they’re happy with? Are we all switching to a cloud-based storage solution?
Linux or Macos? if MacOs, why not put those 4 disks in raid configuration? Also.. I’m quite happy with the performance of the OWC Thunderblade on my Mac.. my Linux box has something build in which I’m not quite sure of what it is, but it’s fast.. 
MacOs. Back when I set this up, I remember having issues setting it up as a raid configuration. Unfortunately, I can’t recall what the issue was. Which OWC Thunderblade model? I’ve usually had luck with OWC. I would never compare my Mac setup to a Linux setup, I can imagine it’s an eons difference.
raid up an OWC Thunderblade X12. extremely fast.

Holy shit. 6500 MB/s speeds. That thing is a beast. Going to grab it. Thank you!
I have it set up as a raid. and it’s still fast. Because theres 12 NVMEs the loss in making it a raid isnt great. they are expensive and get super hot. but whisper quiet - and thunderbolt 5 of course
I recommend using the apple disk utility to make the raid. I had a terrible experience with SoftRaid.
