The SilverStone TS434U is targeted at professionals and power users requiring reliable multi-drive storage for backups, media libraries, or high-capacity workflows. The SilverStone TS434U is a non-RAID device and does not support hardware RAID. Users who wish to configure RAID must do so via software RAID through their operating system. For example, macOS users can use RAID Assistant in Disk Utility to set up RAID arrays.
