Hello,
Planning an upgrade/addition to my photo video online locally attached via Thunderbolt switch storage media. Delivery expected today. Wondering how this new configuration would best work with SoftRAID and these specific issues:
- Use RAID 4 or RAID 0+1 configuration? I mentioned the primary need is for fast access to photo editing with the media on these four drives.
- Maximize the expected storage on this media array? My current need is about 1.6TB. The new media are 4x 2TB modules.
- Add to current config of local storage on MBP M1Pro 2021 (Samsung 970EVO Plus SSD NVMe M.2), 1TB & 500GB eight devices in 2 (Akitio) SATA III enclosures).
- Compatible with Sonoma?
Macbook Pro 16" Retina XDR, 2024 M4 Pro internal 2TB storage, 36GB RAM, MacOS 15.6.1 Sequoia, running v8.0 SoftRAID software; Local RAID drives/enclosures: 4M2 OWC Enclosure with 6TB NMe, RAID4 Storage; two external OWC T3 enclosures (2.5TB online storage) populated with JBOD 6x500GB, EVO SSD, RAID 4 array disks/partitions; Local Backup: 2TB.

You do not have enough space for RAID 1+0, so use RAID 4 or 5.
Sonoma support will be available at or shortly after Sonoma release. beta MacOS software changes quite a bit, so we do extensive testing before release, keeping up with any issues generated by changes in MacOS.
So you are fine.
