Lacie helpdesk was not helpful at all, tbh neither was Apple they are basically just pointing fingers at each other. They do connect, but the speed is very, very slow. I'm using a Lacie 5big and on Silicon machines, LaCie RAID unites are a definite no-go at this moment. MS RAID software Storage Spaces is s-o-o-o bad. It's a pity (for me, at least) that there is no version of SoftRAID, nor even an equivalent program, for Windows. OWC support was helpful and pointed me towards a solution: īasically just Security settings to allow SoftRaid to run properly. The enclosure sits idle.Īs I told OWC, I don’t think SoftRaid is ready for the M1. I’ve since used the SSDs in a single enclosure without SoftRaid-works fine. So I quit using the 4M2 enclosure/SoftRaid. I was uncomfortable with the discrepancy, and numerous exchanges with OWC could not correct the situation. The drives would show up in Finder, but SoftRaid indicated the drive enclosure (Volume) was unmounted even after the software was updated. I had four SSDs in an OWC Express 4M2 enclosure running SoftRaid when I got my M1 iMac last May-worked fine on my Intel iMac. I'll be interested to hear what they say as I've been think about doing something similar. OWC's customer service has been really good when I needed them. I'll get on the horn to OWC today but just wondered if anyone else is having this issue. I've tried direct into the MBP and through my OWC Thunderbolt Dock (TB4 one).Īll volumes show in SoftRaid but the others won't mount. I've tried just connecting one of the bays at a time without them connected and makes no difference. It is mounting two out of 4 volumes from the TB4 and 1 out of 4 from the Mini. I've got a Thunderbay4 and a ThunderBay Mini daisy chained via TB2 and then into my new 16" M1Max MBP. This may be a long shot on a photography forum but is anyone successfully using a OWC Thunderbay4 via Apple's TB2 to TB3 adapter into an M1 Mac and having it properly mount all drives? Solved: TB2 ThunderBay4 into M1 Mac not mounting all drives.IMPORTANT! Read This BEFORE Updating Your M1 Mac to Big Sur 11.What’s Happening With SoftRAID on M1 Macs?.So, now it is up to the user to delete these out-of-date drivers manually before their system will work correctly. I’m still not sure whether this new behavior is a bug or a feature. New with macOS 11, the kernel will encounter one of these insecure drivers and then just refuse to load all third-party drivers. Prior to macOS Big Sur 11, the operating system would just skip insecure drivers and go ahead and load the rest normally. They can also exist if you updated your existing startup to macOS 11 rather than performing a clean install on a new startup volume. These out-of-date drivers get copied over to your new M1 or Intel Mac when you use Apple’s Migration Assistant application. These drivers, often for older printers, are often unsigned and may even date back to 2007. Our Customer Support staff has determined that this happens when users have older drivers installed on their Mac. When this occurs, all third-party drivers are blocked from loading, not just the SoftRAID driver. There are still occasional situations where the SoftRAID driver doesn’t load on macOS 11.3 but this occurs on both Intel and M1 Macs.
Why you might still have problems loading drivers with macOS 11.3 This bug was on M1 Macs only so the SoftRAID driver has been able to run on Intel Macs on all versions of macOS 11.2. This version restores the ability to load the SoftRAID driver on M1 Macs. The good news is that Apple has released the official version of macOS 11.3 to all Mac users. While Apple had this fixed in a beta release of macOS about a month later, most users don’t want to run a beta version of an operating system on their Mac. With the release of macOS 11.2, Apple introduced a bug in the kernel which prevented the SoftRAID driver when running on M1 Macs.
