![]() ![]() In my setup I have 4 pieces of WD RE4 1TB drives connected to a mpt2sas based controller. Note: We only provide an x86_64 kernel for SCST because it will perform better on 64bit systems. SCST modules are already included by default so there is no need for a separate module package to be installed. This is why we created a separate kernel just for SCST usage. SCST performance depends on specific patches which need to be applied to the kernel. SCST iSCSI will run in kernel-space and this is one of the reasons why it preforms much better. The problem with this implementation is it operates in user-space. ![]() The default Linux kernel will provide support for iSCSI. To get started, you can download a boot cd here: I presume you will take security actions on another level. This means we are not using grsec and not using a firewall. This is why I made some decisions targeted on performance instead of security (like you are used in Alpine Linux). As always, you can test drive SoftRAID for yourself, FREE, with the full featured 14-day trial.SCST is deprecated since Alpine 2.6 in favor of TCM SoftRAID also ships with select OWC enclosures including ThunderBays, ThunderBlade, Express 4M2, Mercury Elite Pro Quad, Mercury Pro U.2 Dual, and Accelsiors. SoftRAID 6.2 is a free upgrade for current SoftRAID 6 users and discounted upgrades are available at the OWC Software Store ( ) for SoftRAID 5 users. It is the brain for running, maintaining, and protecting your RAID arrays. It’s ideal for voluminous data roles, including audio/video production and editing, photography, graphic design, database servers, financial applications, and more. ![]() SoftRAID is powerful yet easy-to-use RAID software that maximizes drive capacity offers faster performance and protects against data loss. Vigilant: Error prediction helps protect against unexpected failure. ![]() Certified: Checks disks before use to ensure they are safe for data storage.Validated: Volume validation ensures sectors can be read and parity is correct.Protected: SoftRAID Monitor constantly watches your disks and alerts you if problems are detected.Licensing: Easily activate, deactivate, and add additional discounted seats.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.Universal: SoftRAID works with both Mac and Windows and built-in OWC MacDrive technology lets you seamlessly move SoftRAID volumes between OSes.SoftRAID is perfect for anyone who needs to store and back up massive amounts of data safely. Multiple RAID levels give you maximum volume capacity, optimal drive efficiency, data protection, or a combination of attributes. “SoftRAID offers vast advantages over hardware RAID and makes catastrophic data loss a thing of the past.”Īt SoftRAID’s core are RAID creation and management technology that has been finely tuned over 20 years of development. “SoftRAID is for anyone who needs to safely store and backup important data, including audio/video pros, photographers, archivers, families, and small businesses,” said Tim Standing, OWC VP of Software Development – Mac. What does this mean in the real world? For example, using SoftRAID with an OWC Accelsior 8M2 PCIe card enables continuous data transfer over 10GB/s! This level of performance isn’t possible in previous versions of SoftRAID and is impossible with RAID volumes not using TRIM commands, like Apple RAID. The new mechanism is 3x faster than before. The re-engineered SoftRAID driver features a new method of handling TRIM commands on SSDs. SoftRAID 6.2 adds support for the all-new macOS 12 – Monterey.įor the first time ever, SoftRAID supports the creation, management, and monitoring of APFS volumes and enables access to encrypted APFS volumes created with Disk Utility 1 The all-new SoftRAID 6.2 builds on this solid foundation with new technology and features, making it the most powerful RAID utility available. It has impressive features like multiple RAID options and predictive disk failure monitoring that provide a level of performance that you can’t get with hardware RAID. SoftRAID is the most powerful, intuitive RAID management software on the market for macOS and Windows. OWC®, the premier zero-emissions Mac and PC technology company, and a respected provider of Memory, External Drives, SSDs, Mac & PC docking solutions, and performance upgrade kits, announces the availability of SoftRAID 6.2 for Mac, adding compatibility for new macOS 12 Monterey and for the first time ever, support for APFS volumes. Software solution offers compatibility with macOS 12 Monterey and support for APFS volumes ![]()
