Unfortunately not. It is not possible.

I bought the G-Raid (2x4TB or 8TB) and found that it runs almost twice as fast with the RAID-0 8TB setting! When copying under RAID-0 8TB a speed of 480MB/s is achieved, as RAID-1 (2x 4TB) only 253MB/s! Does anyone know why this is and whether there is a way to achieve the same speed under RAID-1 (2x4TB)??? Thank you very much for any information!

With Raid 0, the data is written to both hard disks in parallel, thus increasing the read and write speed. With the 2X4TB system, you also have the full 8 TB available. If it is configured as Raid 1, the data is mirrored. The disadvantage - apart from the loss of speed - is that "only" 4TB are available, but since the data are mirrored, the reliability is increased. This means that if one hard disk gives up the ghost, the data is still available on the second one. This is why Raid 1 is called a redundant system.

Can I simply replace the two 4TB HDs with, say, 8TB HDs at a later date and thus have 16TB instead of 8TB? If not, why not?

I have looked at the product. They also sell the product with 2x 12TB HDD. So it should work.

Can I buy this product and replace the two HDDs with two 4TB SSDs? I would then like to use the two HDDs as backup hard drives for the G-Tech. Could anyone recommend a good 2-bay HDD enclosure with USB-C?

Unfortunately, we could not find any precise information on this from the manufacturer. The question has therefore been forwarded to our community so that someone who knows more about it can answer it.

I don't see any options on Digitec to buy replacement drives for this product, should a removable drive fail. Are they not available directly through your site, and how much do they cost?

In the G-Tech Raid Removable (8TB), are two 8TB hard disks installed, which give 8TB storage capacity in Raid1 mode, or two 4TB hard disks, which together give 8TB storage without Raid1 mode?

The latter. 2 times 4 TB. This results in 4TB in RAID 1 mode (redundant copy) and 8TB in RAID 0 mode (striping).

Are the hard drives in this GTech interchangeable?

Yes, it is possible.
