WOODSTOCK, IL — March 18, 2020 — OWC®; a leading zero emissions Mac and PC technology company and one of the world’s most respected providers of hard drives, SSDs, Mac & PC docking solutions and performance upgrade kits, today announced the availability of SoftRAID 5.8.3, adding full Traditional Chinese language support. The SoftRAID software platform now supports seven languages, which are automatically displayed based on each Mac’s language settings. Additional languages supported include English, French, Spanish, German, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
SoftRAID also includes a workaround to an issue in macOS 10.15 Catalina, which prevents the macOS kernel cache from rebuilding correctly. The issue has been reported to Apple and their team is working on an OS fix.
“We continue to work closely with Apple software and hardware engineers on supporting upcoming technologies,” said Tim Standing, OWC’s VP of Software Development – Mac. He continued “This version of SoftRAID adds faster performance for NVMe SSDs, as well as support for storage devices based on the U.2 standard. Since OWC acquired InXtron, a hardware design and manufacturer in Taiwan, in 2019, we have seen a profound increase in the number of Chinese speaking customers. We wanted to more fully support these customers, so we felt it was important to add support for Traditional Chinese to SoftRAID. I am excited to offer this additional support to the rapidly growing market of film and video professionals.”
The SoftRAID team works constantly to make SoftRAID the most solid, robust RAID solution available. The newest update shows the commitment to improving the software with enhanced features and the ability to fix issues when they arise in software or outside factors.

Conventional wisdom turned on its head.
Hardware RAID has long been thought to be superior to software RAID, but we've now combined the massive performance and capacity of ThunderBay 4 with a robust, proven software RAID engine to provide breathtaking performance, flexibility, and reliability.
Software RAID + ThunderBay = WHOA!
Over a year ago, OWC partnered with SoftRAID to bring enhanced storage capabilities to the Mac, and we're now seeing that dream become a reality. SoftRAID XT combines advanced RAID modes, fast performance, monitoring, e-mail notification, and fast rebuild capabilities that only software RAID can deliver.
Monitoring + Notifications
SoftRAID XT lets you easily setup drive monitoring and e-mail notifications to keep you informed about your ThunderBay's performance and drive health. Helping you to maintain mission critical workflows.
Better than Hardware RAID Performance
ThunderBay 4 and the SoftRAID engine offers faster performance than many competing 4 or even 5-bay hardware RAID external drives – benefiting from modern processors that are both fast and designed for exceptionally high-performance RAID management with no real-world impact on apps or tasks.
Flexible + Robust
SoftRAID XT is extremely flexible and can easily be updated, reconfigured and used across multiple enclosures to provide an amazing amount of robust options to empower you to make the most of your ThunderBay workflow.
Empower your workflow with RAID 5 performance.
Edit, view, stream, and produce more with ThunderBay in your 2K, 4K, and audio production workflow.
The RAID 5 Advantage
RAID 5 merges the four drives inside ThunderBay together for exponential performance gains over a single drive, the combined capacity of three of the drives, and data redundancy that allows the array to still work even if one drive were to fail!
Edit, Experiment, Create, Design
With ThunderBay's performance capabilities you can complete projects faster, have more time to experiment, and push your creations to the next level.
Enhance editing capabilities in video apps like Apple Final Cut Pro, Adobe Premiere, and Avid Media Composer.
