There are multiple testimonials from users on the SoftRAID website attesting to this. Many SoftRAID users have discovered that brand new disks fail the certification process! In fact, SoftRAID estimates 3-5% of all new disks will fail the initial certification test. A disk certification is considerably more rigorous than testing at the factory, providing users confidence that all the disks in their array are safe to use. SoftRAID Lite offers disk certification a thorough, multi-pass certification procedure that writes, then reads from every sector on the target disk. SoftRAID Lite continually watches for key disk failure indicators using proprietary predictive failure analysis, and in doing so, can reliably predict most catastrophic disk failures up to several weeks and even months in advance, so users can backup and protect their data before a disk fails. This means users are always aware of the status of the individual disks in an array, which helps to protect user data. If any SoftRAID disk has an I/O error, or fails the SMART test, the SoftRAID Monitor will change the color of the indicator in the menu bar and display a desktop notification. The SoftRAID Monitor runs continuously in the background, providing ongoing status of SoftRAID Lite arrays and alerts users to imminent disk failures. In addition to enhanced performance, SoftRAID Lite features comprehensive disk-health monitoring tools including SMART diagnostic tests every 24 hours, tracking hours of use for every disk, and performing block-level health analysis. SoftRAID Lite RAID-1 volumes can read at speeds in excess of 700MB/s using solid state disks (SSDs) and in excess of 270MB/s using HDDs. By spreading the reads over multiple disks, reads from mirrored volumes now approach the speed of striped volumes.

Reads from SoftRAID Lite mirror volumes (RAID-1), are up to 86% faster than AppleRAID. SoftRAID Lite volumes are bootable and can be used on any Mac running OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) or later.

SoftRAID Lite comes to the rescue, restoring software mirroring (RAID-1) and striping (RAID-0) functionality to the Mac, while adding the advanced disk health monitoring of the SoftRAID engine.

SoftRAID Lite makes it easy for Mac users to once again create and manage software RAID-0 and RAID-1 arrays.Īpple OS X 10.11 (El Capitan) removed the RAID functionality in Disk Utility, leaving a gap in functionality for users that want to create and manage software RAID volumes. SoftRAID LLC announced the SoftRAID Lite, a software RAID utility powered by the SoftRAID-5 engine.
