Tom Sheppard<p>I would really like to get off of OWC's SoftRAID because they seem to have problems with Apple's OS migrations, and they want an absurd amount of money for the subscription when they don't fix crashing bugs that have been around for years.</p><p>I'm considering running OpenZFS in an Ubuntu VM on my M4 Mac mini only because I've heard the macOS version requires a kext, which Apple is trying to kill off, and SIP changes.</p><p><a href="https://twit.social/tags/OWC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OWC</span></a> <a href="https://twit.social/tags/SoftRAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftRAID</span></a> <a href="https://twit.social/tags/OpenZFS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenZFS</span></a> <a href="https://twit.social/tags/macOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>macOS</span></a></p>
Tom Sheppard<p>Wow, do I ever regret buying <a href="https://twit.social/tags/OWC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OWC</span></a>'s <a href="https://twit.social/tags/SoftRAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftRAID</span></a>. It lost track of one drive forcing me to initialize and rebuild it. While rebuilding, it bitched about another drive that kept disconnecting. Once the rebuild finished, I swapped enclosures (different manufacturer) for the supposedly disconnecting drive. SoftRAID didn't know anything about the drive forcing me to reinitialize it and rebuild yet again … that takes days for an 8 TB drive. Worst <a href="https://twit.social/tags/RAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>RAID</span></a> software ever.</p>
Tom Sheppard<p>The two 8 TB WD Red drives that failed in my RAID5 and were replaced I've since certified successfully so I thought I'd use them in a RAID1 mirror and only use them for data I can afford to lose. Well, several times one drive reported r/w errors so I swapped USB enclosures and the problem stayed with the enclosure, so I swapped back and will wait to see what happens. Meanwhile I'm writing a lot of data to them.</p><p>But swapping drives carries a severe penalty. <a href="https://twit.social/tags/SoftRAID" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SoftRAID</span></a> from <a href="https://twit.social/tags/OWC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OWC</span></a> has a fatal …</p>
