Customer data, you know how it is. I’m sure I’ll be back and check again.

Refunded

Sorry for the issues, we do not know why macOS is quarantining normal apps/drivers again

I do not see your purchase under your forum email address. Can you give me the order number?

At this stage, since I just purchase the software, I would like a refund. It's not like I don't want to help anymore, I just can't trust it at the moment. I have 4.5TB of customer files and I'm not comfortable trusting it to softraid.  I have completely removed it off my system.

I am getting several of these now, I really don't know the cause.

Please try this:

Uninstall SoftRAID, all components

Delete SoftRAID.

Download a fresh copy using your phone. (want a different source)

Run it, install, see if you get the "Allow", let me know.

thanks. And you never get the option to allow OWC?

Is the driver quarantined?

Paste this into the terminal.app:

sudo xattr /Library/Extensions/SoftRAID.kext

Is there any output? (should be a blank line after entering password)

 I also tried the convert apple drive to softraid drive and that fails.
