Boot the install disk and choose to drop to a shell when asked:īy default, only the sd0 devices will exist.
The bold text represents keyboard input.Ĭreating the softraid volume is a manual process that must be done before running the installer.I was installing to two identical 320GB SATA disks, so my install targets were sd0 & sd1.This article details my experience installing OpenBSD 5.1 on amd64 to take advantage of these new features. Other architectures still require the kernel to be located on a non-softraid device. You can boot the system from the softraid RAID1 volume on amd64 ONLY. It is the brain for running, maintaining, and protecting your RAID arrays.OpenBSD 5.1 added support for placing the root partition on a softraid(4) volume for the amd64, i386 & sparc64 architectures. 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
Validated: Volume validation ensures sectors can be read and parity is correctĬertified: Checks disks before use to ensure they are safe for data storage 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 Universal: SoftRAID works with both Mac and Windows and built-in OWC MacDrive technology lets you seamlessly move SoftRAID volumes between OSesĪdvanced: Create RAID 0/1/4/5/1+0 (10) with Macs, RAID 0/1 with Windows machines 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 HighlightsĪt SoftRAID’s core are RAID creation and management technology that has been finely tuned over 20 years of development. 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.2Īt SoftRAID’s core are RAID creation and management technology that has been finely tuned over 20 years of development.
The new mechanism is 3x faster than before. The re-engineered SoftRAID driver features a new method of handling TRIM commands on SSDs. For the first time ever, SoftRAID supports the creation, management, and monitoring of APFS volumes and enables access to encrypted APFS volumes created with Disk Utility1. SoftRAID 6.2 adds support for the all-new macOS 12 – Monterey. 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.
