Rebuilding Mirrored RAID

kenqld · 2017-01-26T10:50:49Z

G’day, this is my first post here so I hope I have the right forum. I am new to SoftRAID and the forum. I was led to SoftRAID when I had a mirrored RAID set up in a previous version of Mac OS X fail. Tech tool Pro was warning me of this and I thought I’d fix it with Disk Utility but discovered that Apple had dumped support in El Capitan. Online searches to resolve the problem pointed to complicated (at least for me) command line methods but fortunately someone mentioned SoftRAID. I downloaded the trial version and set about fixing the broken raid. I converted the raid to soft raid removed the faulty drive and added a replacement which I had either certified or verified (I don’t remember which) and it started rebuilding. This has been rebuilding since the 14th and although I was aware it would take some time, I think this is far too long. The HDDs are 2TB. Apart from 2 or 3 times when I left the Mac running overnight (and into the next day) I shut down each night. Sorry for being so long-winded but what should I do? BTW I have since purchased SoftRAID Lite.
