I did have my ssd in raid until I bought the Intel's Optane 905 ssd drives - initially I ran them as raid, too but then realized, that it works even better if I use one of them as just an empty scratch drive for Photoshop swap files and the other one as a system drive. I also use UPS devices on all my computer gear mainly to protect from power surges and that sort of thing, but here even during the day our electric company FPL seems to have glitches with momentary (like a few seconds at most) power outages and my UPS keep me going without issue. That said I have over 30 3.5" TB drives from 1TB up to and including 16TB and, knock on wood, have never had a failure to date. That is why here in FL I now always put backups of my files in the bank vault on a regular basis. There were some exterior walls remaining, but it was a skeleton. I looked at where the glass front to the bank used to be and inside is all I could see was the big approximately 15x15" stainless steel vault standing alone. They informed us the bank was closed and no access date was set up. So we headed over the the bank near our house and came around the corner and we were surrounded my about 8-10 National Guard troops with M16's pointed at us.
After Hurricane Andrew we were running low on cash and I some in the bank vault.
#Softraid raid 6 plus#
I was so paranoid the 3rd was going to go to, from that day forward I started creating a pages document detailing each file number of each location of each camera of each day (I would sometimes travel with 3 systems) and NEVER overwrite the SD or CF cards during the entire trip and for that matter I started accumulating CF and SD cards since I wanted those "original" documents to be permanent and safe even though they were backed up at home 3 times plus backup in the bank vault. One day and without warning 2 of those devices (under warranty) stopped working without prior warning. I would back up 3 times to these 3 devices every night after capturing during the day giving me the original CF or SD card plus 3 backups. I used to travel to 95 countries (mostly out of Paris and NYC before that) and not having those images still haunts me at times.Īs a testament to Graham's SSD failure comment, years ago (yes I am paranoid) I used to travel with 3 independent OWC SSD (the best ones). Yes I am crazy about backups since in Hurricane Andrew in 1982 I lost 25 years of slides (pre digital) since our house had a 12 foot tidal wave go through it.
#Softraid raid 6 update#
And if that is not enough I also have backups of aforementioned on Samsung 2TB SSD which I keep here and update as changes occur. I also keep all of the aforementioned RAID on 4TB Samsung 2.5" SSD drives in a bank vault which I rotate from time to time. Other old RAID machines backup all these just mentioned (just in case) since I live in FL the lightening capitol of the US.
#Softraid raid 6 pro#
I have multiple other RAID devices split by RAW USA by location, RAW Europe by location, C1 Sessions by year (all three of these on OWC Mercury Elite Pro Dual-(some 16TB or 14TB or 10TB) and C1 Sessions by location. My most recent one is the Mercury Elite Pro Dock with two 16TB drives on RAID 0-my preferred RAID setup. Even though I have many OWC RAID devices I always pick hard RAID devices. I just do not want to use Softraid for myself. I don't mind reconfiguring the drives they are all backed up with second copies. I don't need any other RAID configurations other than RAID 0. Can I use Big Sur to configure these drives as RAID 0, or will I still need SoftRaid? I have no idea what RAID capabilities Big Sur's disk utilities have, if any.
These are not RAID enclosures, just JBOD enclosures. I have other single drives, but the above are all configured as (3) different RAID 0 drives.
#Softraid raid 6 upgrade#
I am preparing to upgrade to Big Sur, but wasn't too thrilled about upgrading to the new SoftRaid v6. I've been using SSD's and OWC's SoftRaid Lite with Catalina. Trying to figure out if I need to upgrade to SoftRaid 6 when I migrate to Big Sur.
