Jeff,
First off, trying to get the Tech Support number is like trying to crack the Da Vinci code! Seriously, Meridian does not want users contacting them directly. Have them tell it, all communications come thru the dealer. And for the record, I didn't give up on the solution. After many attempts, the ticket was escalated from NY to the author of the code in the UK. Subsequently, I was informed that the conversion wouldn't "take". I had Meridian approved drives that were running perfectly in it's RAID-1 configuration. I ended up getting distracted with other things so I haven't tried to push this yet. As my free time avails itself, I may revisit this. I say "may" because the 3Tb solution that you mentioned might just get me there. Reg

On a side note, I've been disappointed at the speed of development by Meridian on the Sooloos front. It seems like a lot of time was spent releasing a slew of products that replaced the Sooloos hardware with Meridian hardware. I understand the business reason why they did this and certainly understand the benefits of the Meridian impact on the output stage. I just wish we would have seen more movement on the software side (and yes, I know we have gotten things like high res format support). That iPad app refresh is painfully overdue and given what we've seen from Qsonix on that front, Sooloos has seen the bar set high for them. Jeff |

Jeff,
I don't know if the problem is bigger than my unit. It did seem to come as a surprise to the the NY Tech Support Staff. FWIW, I'm not sure the fix is firmware. I asked Support if the fix would stick if I eventually upgraded/changed my 2Tb disks and never received a convincing answer. If I had known the RAID conversion wasn't possible, I would have opted for another TwinStore at half the price! As for the iPad implementation, it's a bit behind the curve (to be kind). With QSonix's iPad implementation, Sooloos is clearly no longer the cutting edge. Tone Audio was a rave about QSonix's iPad implementation online. Rumor has it, we can expect an update in the 1st quarter of 2012. Reg

Yeah, the iPad issue certainly is more magnified after what Qsonix rolled out. I hope Q1 proves accurate for Sooloos. I haven't heard a specific time frame, but I know that they aren't close enough to release by year end. Let's hope that the iPad is the first of more significant software improvements to come. Jeff |

The OP was getting 3TB drives to work in a TwinStore.
There is still no definitive answer as to how it was done. Can we refocus on the original post? |

It appears that the 3Tb drives were repartitioned. The optimal repartitioning scheme is best left to the reader :-).

Hi g997,
So sorry for the late reply as am very busy due to the Thailand floods. OK, the drives when delivered were already opened. He just removed my 2 x 2TB drives and plonk in these 2 x 3TB drives. After which he told me I must restore everything .... Of course, I wiped off the 500GB on the C15, turned it off, and then uses just these 2 x 3TB storage space. Cheers!

My question was to determine if the dealer did anything to the drives before they were installed. Are you certain the dealer just plonked them into the TwinStore ? |

I suppose "what he had done" is of the interest in this thread, but he's not talking. Thats so far I can share. MY apologies as I am not able to go beyond this. Cheers!
