I went to SoftRAID and hardware RAID solutions and never looked back. Looking back at some of the support pages, it looks like it was a gradual process over Sierra - so that's cool. Most RAID management features were readded with Sierra over 2 years ago.Īpple has a knowledge base article with the steps For creating disk sets with Disk Utility in High Sierra and Mojave here The ability to make a software RAID from the command line was never removed (or “stripped from macOS in the author’s parlance). However, if you want to use an external hard drive or any other type of external storage device on both systems, you can do that by formatting it using the FAT32 file system. Due to some “makeover” work for Disk Utility in El Capitan, the GUI version of Disk Utility did indeed have the features for RAID management (including creation of Software RAIDs) altered and reduced. While Mac OS X can read NTFS drives and write on HFS+ ones, Windows behaviour is quite the opposite, as it is able to read HTF+ drives, but writes on NTFS ones. I’m not sure exactly what is meant by this rather vague statement, but if the allusion is to MacOS’s ability to create a software RAID, this is not only out dated info, but was only ever half true to begin with. Using OWC's SoftRaid to give back RAID support that was stripped from macOS
