quote from the OWC knowledgebase https://software.owc.com/knowledge-base/does-softraid-support-raid-6/
RAID 6 is a widely requested feature, as it allows users to add larger capacity disk drives. We are working on the implementation of RAID 6 for a future SoftRAID release.
Is RAID 6 being worked on, especially with the larger thunderbays it would make sense to have RAID 6. Any thoughts?

RAID 6 is still on our development map, but still a distance away. Apple silicon caused a major delay. Its coming, but when is a question still.

Thanks for the update. Would pay for this feature update.

I got a mixed impression from the web site on whether or not RAID 6 was supported as the calculator includes it. I just ordered a Thunderblade x8 16TB and I would strongly prefer to use RAID 6. To prepare for potential future non-destructive reconfiguration would it make sense to leave a blade unused?

What calculator includes RAID 6?
I am hoping when we do get RAID 6 out, we will be able to convert RAID 5 to 6, if enough space on the volume is available to shrink it.'
We regularly run 7 day to 30 day intensive tests on RAID 5 and never saw an example of "bit rot", BTW.

The "Measure Your RAID" button in the "Choose Your RAID" section on the main SoftRAID page goes to a calculator with 0, 1, 1+0, 4, 5, and 6.
