Was this a one time panic? or does it keep happening?
It was one time when I physically connected T7 to Thunderbolt enclosure.
After reboot it's working fine for more than 6 hours.
Mac Mini M1 OS 11.1, Softraid b48, clean install. I have now tried multiple times to uninstall and reinstall the driver on the startup disk. I have *not* yet tried to plug in my Thunderbay. I am waiting to confirm that this looks OK because I no longer have the option to add OWC as an identified developer in Security & Privacy > General. I did reduce security in the recovery system and select the option to allow the kernel extensions as instructed. Is the driver running properly? If so, why don't I see the OWC option in the Security & Privacy pref pane? Thanks
The driver is loaded. You can check your self using terminal, with this command:
sudo kextstat -b com.softraid.driver.SoftRAID
You will see 6.0.1 b48 is loaded.
Hi, my external hardrive is constantly spinning, no faster but each two seconds...
@softraid-support thanks for your answer but I disabled the spotlight for the hard drive. It's weird...
When you sleep your mac, they power off, correct? I do not think macOS has individual drive control over sleep.
But it is OK, as there is no statistical data showing that active (spinning) vs. sleeping drives have any lifespan difference.
I have a question about read/write speed.
ThunderBay 4 Thunderbolt 3 populated with 4 WD RED Plus (CMR) HDDs. Each drive individually tested is about 167 MB/s
What speed should I expect from RAID 5
Thanks
450MB/s reads and writes on a new volume.
