![]() ![]() That OWC doesn’t include any version of this with hardware is very disappointing. Without it, the two drives can’t be striped or mirrored at all. To achieve those configurations requires SoftRAID Lite, priced at $49.99. And, this tool supports external drives and enclosures of any brand, not only those made by OWC. Oddly, the version that OWC bundles with the SoftRAID enhanced Mercury Pro packages is SoftRAID XT, and that doesn’t support third-party enclosures. But it does support single drives that are made by other makers. It’s a step up from the Lite version in that it comes with technical support and the ability to configure RAID 0,1, 4, 5 and 1+0. However, RAID 4, 5 and 1+0 are options on Mac only currently, so it’s a rather pointless investment for PC owners.įor those that choose the Mercury Pro models with SoftRAID XT, the cost difference is about $80, but buying this license for a barebones system is $118.99. The top rung of this software ladder is SoftRAID Pro. It costs $249.99, and for that, you get the ability to work with any brand drives (like Lite), and volumes can be spread over multiple drives. If you are unsure which, if any, of these that you might want, OWC offers 14-day fully functional trials on all flavours to help you make that assessment. OWC promote SoftRAID as a much less expensive and more flexible approach to RAID, and both of those points are valid.īut, hardware RAID isn’t purely about being costly to use. You don't want people to rip off your work, we shouldn't be ripping off theirs.It also offers the best levels of performance, and because the controller is independent of the computer, a system crash or errant application shouldn’t be able to corrupt the volume.
