Hi Guys,

I’m about to wipe my whole system and do a fresh install and want some advice on formatting my RAIDS.

My system consists of
iMacPro 2tb ssd storage and it holds the Flame Framestore
1 x 24TB Promise R8 (TB2) raid 5 for media
1 x 24TB Promise R8 (TB2) raid 5 backup of Media drive (CCC clones every night)
1 x ARECA 16TB Raid 5 for archives which is also cloned to a Synology 38TB server which also clones to the cloud.

Yeah I know sounds like a bit of an overkill of backups but I have the tech so might as well use it.

I’m about to upgrade to Big Sur but not sure about formating the Promise Media RAIDS as HFS or APFS

Thoughts?
