![]() ![]() It is possible to migrate to raid "on the fly" there are a few recipes here and else where, but it's a little ballsy and you will need a third disk temporarily as the default partitioning uses volume manager and extends everything over both drives. Make each partition of type fd (raid partition), then build the md0-md3 from those partitions.Īlternatively do a mondoarchive iso/usb/nfs image, and restore from that into a manually prepared partition system, (much like the above) you'll need to do a little RTFM'ing to get the handle of mondoarchive/mondorestore do the expert thing and issue an export TERM=vt100 so you don't go blind The rest for /var use /dev/sda4 /dev/sdb4 as /dev/md3 RAID 5 will give you more speed advantage which is what you might be looking for in your work.Yes you can as you install Elastix by manually partitioning the two drives, I suggest something like for a raid 1 :-ġ00 M for /boot use /dev/sda1 and /dev/sdb1 as /dev/md0ġ.5 * memory for swap use /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda2 as /dev/md1ĦG for / use /dev/sda3 /dev/sdb3 as /dev/md2 They are technically the same except the way they stripe the drives. If I were to use another RAID than what I'm using now, I would use 10, then RAID 5 (over RAID 4). I'm a video editor, but our workflow and needs might be different. Reports in another forum of major issues and data loss with several RAID configurations in Beta. They were still accepting Beta invites months ago, but that may have stopped entirely. The software has been delayed numerous times and Version 6 is just not going to happen in a timely manner, or trusted timetable. Personally would recommend against the Accelsior and most OWC products that rely on SoftRaid for either configuration or management in any capacity. macOS does not support RAID bootable in latest builds. ![]() If you're using Accelsior for bootable options, the situation is even worse. Short term, cloning data off SSD RAID, destroying the SoftRaid config, then setting up through macOS natively is your best bet. Hammer on their support team and tell them you're looking for path forward. If you're managing the Accelesior AND building RAID through SoftRaid, there are not a lot of alternatives since it's OWC's "ecosystem" of products. SoftRAID requires a Mac which contains a Core 2 Duo or later processor. It will not work on early Intel Macs with Core Duo processors.pple's High Sierra installer cannot be directly installed onto SoftRAID volumes (for booting). So take this as another person's perspective.ĭepends on what you're using SoftRaid for currently. If you want to start up fromSoftRAID volumes, there are instructions for doing this on the SoftRAID forum. The SoftRAID Monitor is like the traffic sign at the. It doesn’t have to be running for you to use a SoftRAID volume and is usually only used a few times a month. The SoftRAID application is used for setting up SoftRAID volumes and investigating problems. But in video editing with project after project in files at least 4K and above - we're pushing these to their limits faster than regular.Īgain, I don't know how large of a file you're dealing, how much you edit daily, how much space you need, and how fast you need to access. SoftRAID is made up of three key parts: the application, the monitor, and the driver. Granted this may not be reached by a regular person over the life of their computer. In your case, you have the safety of 1 drive failing but you're also constantly writing on all SSDs so the chances of these failing at the same time due to write amount having reached will be greater. I'm delaying the decay of my mirror RAID by only writing a few times, versus constantly on my main RAID. And you have to remember SSDs have a finite write amount. There is obviously a risk to have these drives not copied at once, but also advantages which in my case I'd rather deal with which I'll explain below.Īs a video editor, I'm constantly accessing (large) files - reading and writing - as I create versions and more revisions. ![]() This is acting like RAID 10 (or 1+0), but without instantaneous redundancy. The other 4TB is my mirror drive which is automatically copied every night on a schedule via Carbon Copy Cloner. That gives me 4TB to work on my video files. RAID 5 will give you more speed advantage which is what you might be looking for in your work.Īs for myself, I'm similarly using a PCIe card - Sonnet m.2 4x4. ![]() Click to expand.I'm a video editor, but our workflow and needs might be different. ![]()
