it isn't the drive enclosure's fault and i know that but that is what i'm scornfully glaring at right now.
today i moved some disks into a thunderbolt2 JBOD and didn't realize the dial on the damn thing was set to raid1 for some stupid reason.
and now my pool has been vaporized by whatever happens to drives when an OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual thinks it should be doing whatever nonsense that dial makes it do. I feel like such an idiot. restoring from backups is going to take a while i think, but lesson learned? time will tell!
(i use Arq for backups and that pool went to a B2 bucket and a Wasabi bucket before i moved it which i heartily recommend if you're looking for backup software that lets you use whatever storage you want local/network/public cloud/etc)
