Hi there,

Does someone has experience with USB3 disks - may be in raid1 on the Rpi4?

I tried years ago with usb2 disks in raid1 and the results were miserable.

A good point I missed.  I should have said in my previous post that
the USB interface devices that I used on the Pi 4B were both USB2 and
USB3 varieties, and that there doesn't seem to be a difference in the
reliability between the two.  An addendum: the discs themselves were a
selection ranging from 500GB WD and Seagate to 3TB HGST.  I did try a
couple of old 200GB Seagate drives but the Pi4B didn't recognize them
on USB3 interfaces, I don't yet know why.  Rebuilding 3TB filesystems
gets old quickly, obviously I haven't even considered trying to build
a RAID array with this rubbish.

In short, still miserable.
