I very much want to see SoftRAID succeed. For now I will limp along hoping the next release at least fixes all the easiest problems/cases.

SoftRAID is a great product and I hope these problems can be resolved soon. I do see new releases of SoftRAID with improvements and I do recognize that Apple puts their customers through too much for often a very small return and a return that is more about the Apple Ecosystem than it is customer satisfaction. The good thing is that this is agreed to be a problem so as long as it is pursued there is hope it can be resolved. If you presume an average SSD read/write speed of 500MB/s and you would have the following Raid 0 maximum limits as expectations. I don't know that this is happening, but I am concerned. When SoftRAID was independent of OWC it was a product that served its' users not a particular storage vendor. I hope this is not going to be the future, but there are a lot of examples of this. If SoftRAID is going to support only OWC products it is a dead product. I almost have the sense that SoftRAID tech support is blaming the SSDs. There is problem where a RAID 0 disk set doesn't realize consistent throughput enhancements when disks are added to the array. I feel as I am begging to see this already. Having said this, I am concerned with SoftRAID now as the OWC purchase or any purchase of a product often leads to its' decline and demise. The SoftRAID 6 release is welcome, even though the promised RAID 6 is still a promise. I like the product and want to see it excel.
