I'm using (testing) Softraid 6.2 on my 2 OWC TB4 enclosures on my MacBook Pro 16" 2019 running Big Sur. I also have and external Caldigit HD Drive connected to my MBP, When I need to remove it, after being dismounted (in Softraid app), Softraid says there is a problem and ask me to quit and relaunch Softraid... Is this normal?

This is not "normal" no. Is the CalDigit drive a RAID volume?
Can you attach a support file?
You can make one on the command line (terminal.app)
softraidtool generatereport ~/Desktop/2021.12.11.2021.saulitude.sr_supt
and you can attach it.

Hello there... !
Thanks for your reply.
No the CalDigit HD is an additional backup drive I'm using with Carbon Copy Cloner. I found - I think - the problem: the drive is TB3 and powered by TB3, without any power on/off button. Thus, even if the volume is ejected, the drive is still "connected" and taken into account by Softraid. I guess I have to wait for the computer to be offline before removing it.

But why Finder doesn't report any problem but Softraid does? The "problem" is that Softraid keeps all available disks in its list. OK for the creation of a RAID volume but wouldn't it be possible to have 2 lists of disks? One for RAID drives and their component and one for all others?

The only way to know for certain what is happening is making your SoftRAID disk an Apple disk. It could be a power issue.
