Up to10%cash back  If you would like to use software raid on your Mac, this is the package to get since the Mac OS does not support any sort of Raid 5 or better directly. I would recommend this item to a friend! This review is from SoftRAID - RAID 0/1/4/5/10 + Drive Monitoring for Mac OS X 10.6.x and later.

Mirrored and concatenated RAID options in Mac OS X. Apple's Mac Pro computers have the capacity of holding up to four internal hard drives, and all Mac models support the use of external drives. Two drive raids will often feature RAID 0 (where data is striped across both drives for faster access but no redundancy) or RAID 1 (data is mirrored across both drives.) (Some may also feature RAID 0+1 or 1+0 which are both similar to RAID1 but with striped data for improved access speeds.). Apr 28, 2018  RAID 0 is a popular disk setup solution to achieve the fastest possible read and write disk speeds by splitting data between two or more hard drives. The latest version of Mac OS X High Sierra (10.13) does not allow you to simply install to any kind of RAID configuration. This has frustrated a lot of the Mac community.

You can create a Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID) set to optimize storage performance and increase reliability in case of a disk failure. You can also create a set that concatenates smaller disks to act as one larger disk.

1. In the Disk Utility app on your Mac, choose File > RAID Assistant.

2. Select a set type:

   • Striped (RAID 0) set: A striped RAID set can speed up access to your data. You can’t create a RAID set on your startup disk; you must first start up your computer from another disk.

   • Mirrored (RAID 1) set: Protect your data against hardware failure with a mirrored RAID set. When you create a mirrored RAID set, your data is written to multiple disks so the information is stored redundantly. You can’t create a RAID set on your startup disk; you must first start up your computer from another disk.

   • Concatenated (JBOD) set: Increase storage space with a concatenated disk set. If you need one large disk, but you have several smaller disks, you can create a concatenated disk set to use as one large disk.

3. Select the checkboxes of the disks you want to include in the set.

   Cross Stitch Software MacStitch and WinStitch Over the last 25 years, we have developed MacStitch (for Apple Macs) and WinStitch (for Windows machines). Same great app, one for each kind of computer! Current Version: 2020 (V15.x) - Mac works on all OSX from 10.9 onwards including Catalina.Windows from Windows 7 upwards, including Windows 10. Make your own cross stitch pattern free software machines. MacStitch Screenshot with example Pikachu pattern But it does come with some drawbacks. The first is of course the price. Whilst the initial outlay of $52 ($47 with discount) seems steep, its comparable to the price of any Windows options, and is BY FAR the cheapest Mac software option.Secondly, thanks to its full-service option, it comes with a learning curve.

4. For each disk, click the pop-up menu in the Role column and choose “RAID slice” or “Spare” to designate the disk as a standard member or spare in the set, then click Next.

5. Enter a name for the RAID set in the RAID Name field.

6. Click the Format pop-up menu, then choose a volume format that you want for all the disks in the set. (See File system formats available in Disk Utility.)

7. Click the “Chunk size” pop-up menu, then choose a disk chunk size that you want used for all the disks.

   When you create a striped set, chunks of data from the same file are distributed across the drives. Ideally, you want data distributed across drives evenly and at an optimum size so that it can be efficiently accessed. If you want high data throughput from your set, choose a smaller chunk size so that data is spread across the drives and one drive can be accessing data while another is seeking the next chunk. With mirrored disk sets, choose a chunk size that matches the data you’re accessing. For example, when working with video files, your Mac is accessing large chunks of data, whereas when using a database of many small records, your disks may be accessing smaller chunks of information.

8. If you are creating a mirrored RAID set, select the “Automatically rebuild” checkbox to allow the set to be automatically rebuilt when member disks are reconnected.

9. Click Create.

10. Click Done.

If you have a Mac Pro with a Mac Pro RAID card, use RAID Utility. It uses the RAID card for better performance and to create more types of RAID sets.
