Raid storage with thunderbolt 3 support?

[BallOdd]

Hi!

Quite recently bought a mb pro touchbar version and I have been looking for a good raid storage option that supports the newer thunderbolt 3 standard.
Lacie has the 6big but it is quite expensive at almost 3000 euros with the "smaller" 24TB disk option.
I don't really need insane amounts of storage even 6TB would be plenty for a long time but I need redundancy AND most of all SPEED (raid 5?). How would you guys approach this issue? Have even thought about building a rig myself but I would much rather buy something that just simply works a 100% with no extra tinkering and fear that I mess up my data or can't recover when there is a HD failure at some point.
I am also bias towards hardware raid issues and have my doubts about the software raid rigs because I use multiple machines in my network sometimes.

So I guess my question is
- Is the lacie the only option? (cons: expensive as hell)
- A secondary cheaper option?
- Can you buy the 6BIG with no hard drives?
- Wait for a while so there's more options on the market?
- Any suggestions would be great

There are also other choices on NewEgg.

Cool. Price is looking more attractive. Weird that there is a PC version separately to OS x version? Why aren't they cross compatible. Need to investigate this further

Does NOT work with windows but only os x. Pretty weird for a 2 000 euro professional raid device. They also said there are versions of this peagasus that work with both witch is even more weird to me.

probably just how its formatted it will only mount in osx, but should still work fine with windows. If you plan on using multiple system though id just get a nas. Your getting into 10gbe nas pricing.
