Ambassador 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>
