Just like the move from PowerPC to Intel, for this change, the majority of the code for SoftRAID will not require any changes.

In anticipation of the Mac mini arriving next week, we have already started implementing the changes required to support this new CPU. We already have a Mac mini with Apple silicon on our way from Apple, we ordered it registered for one 5 minutes after the web page went live. So of course we’re going to conquer this transition as well. First the one was from Motorola 68000 to PowerPC and the second was from PowerPC to Intel. Let’s start with a little background on the team behind SoftRAID for Mac: We have already been through, not 1 but 2 processor architecture changes. Many of our customers are wondering: Is SoftRAID going to work on Big Sur? Will SoftRAID continue to work on Macs with Apple silicon? Here is an announcement from Tim Standing, Vice President Engineering, OWC. There are still some issues, feel free to post any differences you see, but at least you can be working with SoftRAID now. We have performance optimization to work on for new volumes, but older volumes should be OK. We are releasing a M1 (Apple Silicon) version of SoftRAID today with the SoftRAID 6 beta. Not only is this much faster, it’s less error-prone, especially when you’re working with 4 or more drives.Philip – just stop this nonsense with RAID 0. SoftRAID lets you select all the desired hard drives, then in one step make a RAID set of the desired type and total size (no mental gymnastics required). Perhaps the best feature of SoftRAID is faster and easier creation of RAID sets-none of the confusing Disk Utility nonsense of having to partition first, then make a RAID set out of the partitions.

SoftRAID is a multi-threaded “filter” driver (one thread per CPU), and under heavy loads it can offer significantly higher performance than Apple’s single-threaded Disk Utility driver.Ī forthcoming version of SoftRAID will offer a single-threaded option (checkbox), to work around bugs in other flaky components this can be a (rare) issue today with certain hardware.

Can delete volumes on a drive without affecting other volumes on the same drive.

Can convert RAID sets to its own format.

Can delete individual volumes without partitioning.

Notifications and system logging when disk “events” occur.

Ability to blink the disk lights (helpful when you have 4/6/8/10 disks!).

Commands to create a startup CD or DVD.

More intuitive display of volumes and drives much easier to avoid mistakes!.

If you buy SoftRAID, please let them know you heard about it here.įor anything but the most basic RAID setup, SoftRAID has many benefit: I’ve used SoftRAID as a satisfied customer for years, and the company takes pride in it. It offers a interface that is easier to understand and less error-prone than Apple’s Disk Utility, and (quite literally) doesn’t crash as Apple’s Disk Utility is prone to do.
