SoftRAID allows you to create and manage disk arrays to increase performance and reliability. SoftRAID allows the user to create and manage RAID 4 and 5 volumes, RAID 1+0, and RAID 1 (Mirror) and RAID 0 (Stripe) volumes. SoftRAID also provides "predictive disk failure", where users are alerted to potential disk failures even before they fail.

SoftRAID's intuitive interface and powerful feature set make this utility a must-have for any OS X Server admin, "Pro" user, photographer, digital-video editor, or desktop user who wants more reliable backup for his computer.

Version 5.7.2: Known Bugs:

Known Bugs:

• SoftRAID does not support creating, modifying or converting APFS volumes
• There’s a bug in macOS 10.14, Mojave, which causes SoftRAID volumes to not be displayed in the "Storage tab of the "About this Mac window

New features:

• Enabled code in the SoftRAID application to display the OWC product registration page when a new ThunderBay 6 is attached to the Mac
• Added code to work around problems in Mac OS which can cause applications to be quarantined by the Finder indefinitely

Bugs fixed:

• In the SoftRAID application which caused clipping in the more info text of the collect system info opt-in dialog. This was only visible when SoftRAID was run with some non-English languages
• In the SoftRAID XT version of SoftRAID Easy Setup which caused it not to recognize disks in OWC enclosures
• In the SoftRAID XT application which prevented it from working with disks in OWC Mercury Elite Pro Quad enclosures
• In the SoftRAID application which caused newly created or erased volumes to be write protected when running Mac OS 10.14
• In the SoftRAID application which prevented the "no errors string from being displayed if a disk had not been initialized to SoftRAID format
• In the SoftRAID application which could result in unmountable volumes. This could occur if a user selected a RAID 4 or RAID 5 volume which was missing 2 or more disks and selected "Remove Missing Disks from the "Volume menu
• In the SoftRAID application and SoftRAID Monitor which caused some SSDs to be incorrectly marked as predicted to fail

Some folk's reviews here are mind-boggling. SoftRAID is one of the most acclaimed and widely accepted soft-RAID solutions. I myself have been running it on all my drives, (13 actively connected; some RAIDed - some not; some spinners; some SSDs) for well over a decade. In those 10+ years, I can attribute ONE issue to it, about 7 years ago. Is it fast? According to BlackMagic I can edit all types of vide except2160p50/p60 10bit YUV 4:2:2... and I do. Everyone has different hardware, skill levels and experience, so these reports are all just anecdotal.
My "anecdote" is that I'm trusting my entire setup, and my business to SoftRAID and have for about 14 years, and based on 16/6 experience, I'm going to continue to do so.
