I have two OWC enclosures: A Thunderbay 4 with 4 8TB HDDs in RAID 5, and an Express 4m2 with 4 4TB SSDs in RAID 4. I am running low on space in the Thunderbay 4 and want to install larger HDDs.
I'm trying to certify the new drives on a generic USB 3.2 drive dock and Softraid XT won't allow this.
Is there any way to certify these disks without taking my current RAID 5 volumes out of use for the duration of the certification (or without buying another OWC enclosure or Softraid Pro)?
If not, this seems like it would be a good feature to add. The certification will probably take several days and I can't afford to be without my RAID 5 volumes that long.
Thanks,
Jay

We are working on a solution. the only option today is put one RAID member disk in the dock, then use the empty slot in the Thunderbay to certify the disks.

Thanks for the suggestion. I found another option. I installed latest Softraid beta on my laptop and I'm using it with my dock to certify there. I hope to see a formal solution in Softraid XT soon.
