There are some large sized WD blades (from a couple years ago) that have problems with MacOS. But they do not work with Apples RAID either, they can hang or disappear randomly.

You can check with WD, but I am not aware of anything. I cannot think of any thing SoftRAID Specific, except the heaver io load over Apple's RAID.

Hi, is there any known problem between SR 6.0.5 and Western Digital's SA500 SATA SSDs? I cant' get a RAID system working with those disks. It crashes ramdonly: sometimes creating a new volume (either RAID 1, 5 or 10), sometimes writing datas on it (both in HFS+ and APFS).

All disks are in a Terramaster D5-300 box and they work fine with Apple's RAID and any SR RAID with rotational disks (for test - HGST 1 TB mixed with WD 500 GByte) works very fine.

Am I mising something? Thanks

Simon
