Good morning and Merry Christmas, first of all :)
I have a need to install the latest Adobe applications, I need to have Ventura installed on my MacBook Pro 16'' Intel 2019, internal Apple 4TB SSD.
I now have Monterey 12.7 installed with no problem with a 40 Tb ThunderBay 4 (X4 Toshiba Enterprise 10 Tb HDD hard drives) connected by Thunderbolt3 and RAID5 with SoftRAID 7.5 license , which I need to upgrade .... On the TB4 there are three volumes, two of 5 and 10 TB HFS format, and one of 15 TB APSF for timeMachine security.
My questions is:
If I want to install Ventura (latest version 13.6.3), Is it safe and will I have no problems with SoftRAID 7.5?
Do I need to upgrade and pay for SoftRAID to the latest version 7.6.1?
Do you recommend it?
I'm so sorry, but I don't have much confidence in spending $80 again on a supposedly "updated" program whose quick installation guides have the old icons volumes SoftRAID and describe the version from quite a few years ago (exactly, the year pdf is 2017), SoftRAID 6....
Is this correct? ...maybe I'm confused and when I pay and upgrade, the quick install guides and manuals will also be updated to the version you download, version 7.6... Is this as I am saying?
Can you help me and explain these doubts please?
THANKS IN ADVANCE!!
Best wishes!

I would disconnect the external drives, then upgrade to Ventura. Update to the latest Ventura.
Connect your drives and the volumes will mount. 7.5 will work fine. (If you still have an active support + upgrades plan, upgrade to 7.6.1)
The problem with the quickstart is localization. So we have not updated it outside of a few tweaks, but SoftRAID works the same.
the only real difference is you no longer need to "reduce security", as of Ventura 13.3+.
