Easy RAID creation
SoftRAID guides you through RAID volume creation, helping you decide what RAID system suits you best. Don’t want your volume any more? SoftRAID helps you safely delete it without risking your data.
Create advanced RAID 0/1/4/5/1+0 (10)1 volumes for higher performance and/or redundancy.
* In a RAID 0 configuration, one failed drive results in a total loss of data. Only RAID levels with redundancy (1, 4, 5, 6, 6+, 10) can support the loss of one or more drives.
