I apologize in advance. I feel like this has been answered before but I can't find it.
If I am making a single disk volume, is there an advantage to creating it with SoftRAID instead of Apple Disk Utility?
Are there any disadvantages? If I give the volume to a co-worker who does not have SoftRAID, would they be able to use a single disk volume created in SoftRAID just like it was a normal Apple volume?
Thank you!

There is no real advantage. The upside is SoftRAID can track IO errors to the volume. The disadvantage is it is not bootable.
Users on M1 will not be able to mount it, without installing SoftRAID, however, all intel machines will mount it just like a Disk Utility volume.
