Even a 512MB cache takes 1-2 seconds to write to drives so you won't notice it. Normal shutdowns will see the data stored in cache dumped to drives before shut downs. If you are nervous about this, or don't have a BBU for the raid card, you can turn off this cache functionality. When the machine (and therefore drives) is turned on again, the cache will dump to the drives and you won't lose data. With a BBU, the RAM is still powered for days even if the rest of the system is powered down. Let's say for example, you were copying something to the RAID array, and so a 512MB cache had 400MB of data still in it when the power went out (assuming you don't have a battery for the PC). The negative is that if you lose power, you would normally lose any data stored in the onboard RAM. This is great because RAM = Fast, as in makes SSD's look slow in comparison. So with decent raid controllers data is stored in cache memory (onboard RAM).

SoftRAID is powerful yet easy-to-use RAID software that maximizes drive capacity offers faster performance and protects against data loss.
“SoftRAID offers vast advantages over hardware RAID and makes catastrophic data loss a thing of the past.”Īt SoftRAID’s core are RAID creation and management technology that has been finely tuned over 20 years of development. “SoftRAID is for anyone who needs to safely store and backup important data, including audio/video pros, photographers, archivers, families, and small businesses,” said Tim Standing, OWC VP of Software Development – Mac. What does this mean in the real world? For example, using SoftRAID with an OWC Accelsior 8M2 PCIe card enables continuous data transfer over 10GB/s! This level of performance isn’t possible in previous versions of SoftRAID and is impossible with RAID volumes not using TRIM commands, like Apple RAID. The new mechanism is 3x faster than before.
