Combined with our SoftRAID technology, you can configure a storage solution tailored to your unique workflow. Link up to six Thunderbolt units together with Thunderbolt's daisy-chaining capabilities.

I'm out over $200 on this software Raid, and I wish I'd never ever bought it. What that means is that the hardware can produce 10Gbps speed, given the right software. My speeds were excellent 940 write and 650 read. What kind of support is that? How could he ever find the problem when his only focus was to blame my hardware?įinally, I configured my three SSDs as a Raid 0 using the Mac Raid Assistant. How could you when it would take days for them to back to you? The tech support guy clearly said his goal was to show me that the problem was my hardware. You could NEVER use this utility for any kind of production, no matter how small. Fine, but via email support was far worse and slow. When I tried to talk with tech support, that was impossible, and they used Covid as an excuse. Then when SoftRaid 6 came out, which is required for Big Sur, they charged me $50 for an upgrade.Įven worse, when I got it, configured my Raid, my performance was in the 300 Mb range (Read and Write) for three SSDs. I had not received the shipment and I had not opened it. They had shipped, but I asked them to return the product. I purchased with SoftRaid 5.8.4 and SoftRaid 6 was in beta.
