Other World Computing, the leading provider of computer hardware, accessories, and software that bring artistic expression and the digital world together for creative professionals and consumers of technology, today unveiled SoftRAID 8, a groundbreaking new software release that redefines RAID management for Mac and Windows environments.
Quickly accessing data with the right safeguards is a difficult balance. Whether it is enhancing multimedia production workflows, protecting critical business files, or ensuring uninterrupted access to valuable data, OWC's SoftRAID is the ideal solution to manage RAID arrays. SoftRAID implements the latest performance technology unleashing remarkable speeds on a RAID system. Simply connect the drive array, format the preferred RAID level, and experience the breakneck speeds first-hand. RAID management has never been this powerful and easy to use.
The most powerful RAID tool on the planet just got better.
SoftRAID 8 introduces two simplified tiers, Standard and Premium, that provide essential data access, integrity, and updates.
SoftRAID Standard, a new free version, enables full access to RAID volumes, guaranteeing seamless full read/write data access. It provides the capability to rebuild and replace drives in the event of failure, ensuring continuous operation. Additionally, SoftRAID Standard provides access to the most recent updates and upgrades, offering a comprehensive toolkit for efficient RAID volume management across OS versions.
SoftRAID Premium, a new paid subscription tier, is set apart from other RAID solutions with the unparalleled protection and support. With the Premium tier, you will gain the ability to create ultra-fast volumes and benefit from enhanced data integrity through the SoftRAID Monitor. This monitoring tool consistently evaluates RAID performance, providing timely notifications via email about potential issues. This proactive approach enables data protection long before problems arise, sometimes with months of anticipation. Another key benefit of the Premium tier is access to OWC's support team to assist with troubleshooting volumes and critical disk health notifications.
"SoftRAID 8 is a game-changer, pushing the boundaries of RAID management with unparalleled efficiency and speed. It's not just an upgrade; it's a revolution in how we approach and enhance data security across Mac and Windows environments. With new RAID levels, boosted performance, and proactive health monitoring, SoftRAID 8 cements itself as the most powerful RAID tool on the planet," said OWC Founder and CEO Larry O'Connor.
What is New with SoftRAID 8
"I prefer to be behind the camera when working. So, avoiding unnecessary time waiting behind the computer for my files and data is a win," said Nick Cahill, award-winning filmmaker and outdoor photographer. "I would say the performance of SoftRAID helps get me back behind the camera."
SoftRAID 8 is the culmination of OWC's commitment to providing the most advanced RAID management solution across platforms. For more information, please visit owc.com or softRAID.com.
30-Day Risk-Free Trial
SoftRAID Premium offers a free 30-day trial, with access to all SoftRAID Premium features - disk checking, monitoring, and easy volume creation.
