I have a Thunderbolt 3 G-Raid with two 4TB Ultrastars. I ordered two 14TB Seagate Expansions from Costco on Black Friday to shuck and upgrade the G-Raid.

I was expecting Ironwolf Pro or Exos x14 but am seeing some of the recently shucked drives are actually Exos 2x14.

Does anyone have experience using 2x SATA drives in a G-Raid enclosure?

I’ve read SAS drives will appear as half or separate drives but couldn’t find much about SATA.

Am I the Guinea pig? Should I back out before I start?

That’s the video I was referencing

However, in this other video the author got an ironwolf pro but mentioned in the comments they have also gotten Exos X18s before.

In the second video the box matches the box advertised from Costco

In this third video the author got an Exos, also same box advertised from Costco

There is a video on YouTube of someone shucking one. It was an Ironwolf Pro.
