Next time change volume optimization to workstation. The reason it was slow was anytime you are using the computer, rebuilds pause so it does not interfere with your working. I suspect you had optimization set to workstation, or server.

I am using SoftRAID 6.0.4 on Big Sur 11.3.1.

 

Many thanks for any advice.
