Rating: 2/5 SoftRAID 6.2 Needs Improvement DecemI am a long time SoftRAID user. I like the product and want to see it excel. The SoftRAID 6 release is welcome, even though the promised RAID 6 is still a promise. Having said this, I am concerned with SoftRAID now as the OWC purchase or any purchase of a product often leads to its' decline and demise. Streamlined: Disk tiles are grouped together by enclosure making it easier to keep track of multiple drives. Advanced: Create RAID 0/1/4/5/1+0 (10) with Macs, RAID 0/1 with Windows machines.

I feel as I am begging to see this already. Universal: SoftRAID works with both Mac and Windows and built-in OWC MacDrive technology lets you seamlessly move SoftRAID volumes between OSes. Podpora systm verze 5.x je 10.13 a 10.15.

There is problem where a RAID 0 disk set doesn't realize consistent throughput enhancements when disks are added to the array.

If SoftRAID is going to support only OWC products it is a dead product. I hope this is not going to be the future, but there are a lot of examples of this. When SoftRAID was independent of OWC it was a product that served its' users not a particular storage vendor. I don't know that this is happening, but I am concerned. If you presume an average SSD read/write speed of 500MB/s and you would have the following Raid 0 maximum limits as expectations. The good thing is that this is agreed to be a problem so as long as it is pursued there is hope it can be resolved. I do see new releases of SoftRAID with improvements and I do recognize that Apple puts their customers through too much for often a very small return and a return that is more about the Apple Ecosystem than it is customer satisfaction. SoftRAID is a great product and I hope these problems can be resolved soon. For now I will limp along hoping the next release at least fixes all the easiest problems/cases.

SoftRAID Issue on the iMac Pro: Keeps Reintalling Driver and Rebooting. Shipping Soon: OWC Thunderbay 4 with Thunderbolt 3, Up to 48TB Capacity.
SoftRAID Updated to Fix Issue with macOS 10.13 High Sierra. I very much want to see SoftRAID succeed. macOS 10.13.2 and Disk Utility Atrocious Bug-Ridden Disaster. For me right now just getting Raid 0 and Raid 10 to work optimally and then Raid 4 and 5 is more important than Raid 6.
I would recommend SoftRAID, but I could recommend it more strongly IF the Raid 0 and Raid 10 and Raid 4/5 worked with all the major SSD mfgs most importantly: Samsung, Crucial, Western Digital, SanDisk, Seagate, and others in order of marketshare. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from OWC SoftRAID Pro for All Multi-Bay Storage Solutions (macOS and Windows). Verified Buyer Reviewer: JBBob Location: Ft. Worth, TX Age: Over 65 Experience Level: Power User Owned Product: less than a month Rating: 5/5 SoftRAID Line & Mercury enclosure are a great combination! NovemI had used SoftRAID Lite to create a RAID1 for my main TimeMachine using another enclosure and was not happy with the fact that the drives, nor the fans in that enclosure never shut down, even when the computer was asleep.
