Using Command-R I rebooted in order to "csrutil disable" and turn System Security off. I then rebooted and the first thing I noticed was that my elegant SoftRAID icons were back on my OWC Express 4M2 and my OWC Thunderbay 6. I hadn't seen them since I moved to Catalina Beta 2 months ago. SoftRAID loaded without any hesitation or request to load the driver and life was finally back to normal.

Using Command-R I rebooted to apply "csrutil enable" and then rebooted again to discover that the icons were still there and SoftRAID loaded without any interruption. 

Using Command-R I rebooted and set System Security to medium. I then rebooted and immediately noted that the SoftRAID icons had gone and SoftRAID complained when loaded that the driver had not been installed due to a bug in Catalina.

I have now simply turned off System Security and left csrutil enabled and I'm now back to a working system.

The one thing I have noticed is that throughput is down significantly. I ran a backup of my 4M2 to my Thunderbay 6 and it was running at almost half the speed that I am accustomed to. 

At least I have made progress! :)]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[Thank you for the update. I share your concern about replacing the 5.6.8 extension.

I just discovered the kextstat command. It shows that, indeed, the version of SoftRAID.kext is 5.6.8.

This might not be a surprise, but when I use the Startup Security Utility to set System Security to None, the SoftRAID app does run, and kextstat reports the version of SoftRAID.kext as 5.8.

I tried running your procedure with System Security of None, but alas, after re-enabling System Security, SoftRAID will not run.

I'd be happy to provide you with any logs or other system reports, if that would help you track it down.]]></content:encoded>
