@softraid-support Thanks. Regarding the stripe size: I currently have 64K (RAID4, SSD) and now I'm tempted to switch to 16K. What is the best way to c...

I assume this also applies to APFS/RAID issue with SSDs as described here? (Write speed 380mb/s, read 512mb/s):

According to this, the performance impact should be much less when using APFS encryption, ranging from a few percent up to 20%. A performance drop of ...

@softraid-support Just to clarify, the drop from 2656 MB/s to 512 MB/s in read speeds is expected when using APFS encryption with two SSD only encl...

I can confirm that enabling APFS encryption severely impacts SSD performance in M1/SoftRAID configurations, reading speed drops from 2600MB/s to 500MB...

RAID10 performs better, but is not an option for me:

Two ThunderBay 4 Mini enclosures, 4x Samsung SSD 870 QVO 8TB in each, RAID4: APFS (no encryption) APFS (encrypted) Switching RAID4 to RAID5 ...

I was able to create a volume after connecting both enclosures directly to the mac (no daisy chaining), restarting and re-initializing all the disks. ...
