I am currently running Softraid 8.3 with MacOS Sequoia on a 2020 Intel iMac 27 inch.    I have a SoftRaid mirrored volume I am still using that I created in January 2016 using softraid 5. Both the primary and secondary hard drives are still working fine and haven't been replaced.  Since the volume was created with softraid 5 more than 8 years ago, I was wondering if there is any benefit to erasing the disks and creating a new mirrored volume using SoftRaid 8.3?   I wasn't sure if volumes created using Softraid 8.3 have any improvements in performance/features/reliability compared to those created with softraid 5?

 

Thanks

For compatibility we do not change the partition map structure on SoftRAID volumes unless absolutely necessary. Last change was 10 years ago.
