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 very much want to see SoftRAID succeed. For now I will limp along hoping the next release at least fixes all the easiest problems/cases. SoftRAID is a great product and I hope these problems can be resolved soon. 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. 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. If you presume an average SSD read/write speed of 500MB/s and you would have the following Raid 0 maximum limits as expectations. I don't know that this is happening, but I am concerned. When SoftRAID was independent of OWC it was a product that served its' users not a particular storage vendor. I hope this is not going to be the future, but there are a lot of examples of this. If SoftRAID is going to support only OWC products it is a dead product. I almost have the sense that SoftRAID tech support is blaming the SSDs.
There is problem where a RAID 0 disk set doesn't realize consistent throughput enhancements when disks are added to the array. I feel as I am begging to see this already. 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. The SoftRAID 6 release is welcome, even though the promised RAID 6 is still a promise. I like the product and want to see it excel. There is a possibility that you will need a BIOS update from your computer manufacturer, if there is a bug you computer manufacturer will need to try to replicate it.Rating: 2/5 SoftRAID 6.2 Needs Improvement DecemI am a long time SoftRAID user. If you get issues at the BIOS level your best contact support is with your computer or motherboard manufacturer as they are more familiar with this BIOS configuration and how your components will interact with each other. Now, you have an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) system, we provide our software and hardware to OEMs for them to integrate it in their systems based on the features and specifications for the system they want to build, and this software and hardware can be customized to have it work based on the configuration they want. Changing from RAID to AHCI I don't see why if you are planning to use a RAID, why playing in the BIOS changing from RAID to AHCI when you have a RAID already created? Please bear in mind that when you talk about Intel® Rapid Storage Technology this is software level and when you do something at the BIOS this is mostly at the hardware level.
