@softraid-support Thanks for hint regarding the stripe size. Are you numbers similar to SoftRAID 7 or have they improved by upgrading to SoftRAID8?
I assume this also applies to APFS/RAID issue with SSDs as described here? (Write speed 380mb/s, read 512mb/s):
According to this, the performance impact should be much less when using APFS encryption, ranging from a few percent up to 20%. A performance drop of ...
@softraid-support Just to clarify, the drop from 2656 MB/s to 512 MB/s in read speeds is expected when using APFS encryption with two SSD only encl...
I can confirm that enabling APFS encryption severely impacts SSD performance in M1/SoftRAID configurations, reading speed drops from 2600MB/s to 500MB...
RAID10 performs better, but is not an option for me:
Two ThunderBay 4 Mini enclosures, 4x Samsung SSD 870 QVO 8TB in each, RAID4: APFS (no encryption) APFS (encrypted) Switching RAID4 to RAID5 ...
Speed is ~1GB/s write and ~2.5GBs write, but drops to 300MB/s and 500MB/s once I enable APFS encryption. This is worse than the performance in my prev...
I was able to create a volume after connecting both enclosures directly to the mac (no daisy chaining), restarting and re-initializing all the disks. ...
> This is not a driver issue. Ventura always loads the 7.5 driver. My concern was not the difference between the version numbers (7.6 app vs 7.5 ...
Unfortunately I was unable to create a RAID4 volume due to Error 128 described here.
Awesome, will try. Would I get close to triple the performance if I were to distribute the 8 drives across three enclosures (i.e. 3+3+2 drives) instea...
Thanks for the answer. What would be your best guess as to how fast the performance will be after? 1.5x? 2x? (Single enclosure RAID5 was 500/800 mb/s ...
