Can the Macbook also be charged during operation and, for example, a thunderbolt ssd be connected to the raid system?

A WD MyBook Duo is connected to the Thunderbolt behind my G-Tech G-Raid. But it only runs when the G-Tech is on. So the Thunderbolt connection is not looped through. My Macbook Pro M1 (2021) is charged when it is connected to the USB-C, but not to the Thunderbolt. Again, data can only be sent via the Thunderbolt. So either or....

I partitioned both disks on the Mac with Disk Utility (half each) and then made two Raid-1s. One is reserved for TimeMachine, the second for pure data. The reverse is not possible, a Raid-1 can no longer be partitioned. TimeMachine is formatted in APFS, the second partition is formatted in MacOS extended. After a restart of the G-Raid, one of the disks is always not online. The repair took 60 hours last time. Question: Do the G-Raids not tolerate two partitions? or what is the reason? Is one of the disks already defective?

As soon as you operate them in Raid 1, you only see one disk, the other is automatically mirrored. You can also remove one of the two and you should still be able to access the data.

I know it's hard to answer, but how loud is the tiny fan on this G-Tech? I have a 4-bay OWC RAID enclosure and had to change the fan because the cheap hairdryer in it was unbearable, both in terms of noise and volume.

The quality of G-tech is worth the money: The G-raid is my third G-tech drive on the desk and all of them are quite quiet. The fan is very discreet.
