OWC just launched SoftRAID 8.5 for Mac and Windows computers. This storage management program helps creative pros and business users protect their data better than before. The fresh update brings many improvements to make your storage faster and more reliable. Anyone from video editors to IT staff can benefit from these changes.
Apple included the new SoftRAID 8.5 driver in macOS 15.4. This helps RAID 4/5 storage handle failing hard drives or SSDs much better. The system marks disks as failed at the first sign of trouble instead of waiting. Your work continues without stopping because the RAID system rebuilds data on the fly.
SoftRAID 8.5 keeps your system stable when drives fail or disconnect. The program stops read and write errors from happening when parts of your RAID storage break down. Tech teams will love the improved command-line tool that lets them run more tasks through Terminal or scripts. These updates make managing multiple drives much easier.
With the new cross-platform feature, Windows users can read and write to non-RAID drives created on Macs. The Windows version also lets you change primary disks or remove disks from RAID setups. SSD users will see better performance thanks to smarter TRIM handling. The system logs more details about what happens, helping you track any problems.
Larry O'Connor, the person who started OWC, says this update shows how hard they work to help customers. Current SoftRAID subscribers can download version 8.5 for free right away. The update works with Windows Volume Shadow Copy Service for better backups. All these changes make both everyday use and serious data protection tasks run more smoothly.
