Yes, RAID0 but who does the RAID 0. Software installed on the drive ? I can read those drive with R-Studio but I can't see anything pointing to RAID.

I seem to remember these can also be JBOD which would explain the 4TB.

Hello,

R-Studio failed to build Raid0 so I tried with UFS EXplorer and that worked. Thank you for your reply and your help.

So we can add it to our database, was it RAID0 or JBOD in the end?
