Not thinking, I update my mac laptop (M1 Max, 64 GB memory) to 12.3.1. My Thunderbay 4 worked fine prior to that. Now, when I attached it, it won't mount and keeps restarting my computer. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the driver (SoftRaid 6.2.1... even tried 6.2 at one point) and have authorized OWC in Security Preferences (each time). If this is a "known issue" with an update to the driver forthcoming, cool. If not, then I need assistance. Crash report on my latest attempt attached. Thanks.

Do this to install the driver:
https://support.apple.com/en-lk/guide/mac-help/mchl768f7291/mac
Select reduced security and enable this:
Select the “Allow user management of kernel extensions from identified developers” checkbox to allow installation of software that uses legacy kernel extensions.
If so, when you did the driver update, did you go to System Preferences / Security to "Allow" OWC as an identified developer?
After enabling third party extensions, reinstall the SoftRAID driver, (do not immediately restart) and go to System Preferences / Security to "Allow" OWC as an identified developer.
A dialog box should pop up directing you to System Preferences/Security. Go there and "Allow" OWC, before restarting. then click "restart later" in System Preferences, and quit. Go back to SoftRAID and restart.
For the Panics, wait 5 minutes before connecting the enclosure, which seems to prevent the panic.
Eventually delete/recreate yoruu volume with 64k Stripe unit sizes, which turns out avoids this crash.

Hi with Monterey 12.5 it doesn't help to wait... even after several minutes the system crashes with the DART problem immediately after reconnecting... not very happy after spending a significant amount of money for the driver.... from what I read the only option to be able to use the drives is the workaround of the 64K stripe or wait for Ventura ?

What if you pull out a disk 1", then wait 5 minutes after startup and push it in. Does that avoid this.
Yes you are correct in needing to wait for Ventura for an Apple fix. (or change the volume)
