Its cheaper than Mac Drive Pro. MacDrive Pro will not mount RAID 5, only 1 or 0.

You can also use the slightly time consumer, but perfectly viable solution of installing SoftRAID into both, and using "deactivate", then "activate" to have an active license on both computers.

I only have the XT license and I just read about the Pro license that includes MacDrive. Both boxes are RAID0. One OWC box I have it in HFS+ and the other is a replica of the first box but in NTFS so I can move to windows as I have found Paragon HFS reader a bit buggy. I sync the boxes everything using CronosSync.

Would the built-in MacDrive tech (if I understand correctly) in the Pro license, means I dont have to worry about HFS readers in Windows and then I dont need replica boxes?
