SoftRAID 3.2 ships; 4 Petabyte volumes and Full Tiger Compatibility.

Mendocino, CA. SoftRAID, LLC is pleased to announce the shipping of SoftRAID version 3.2, with full Mac OS 10.4 compatibility. SoftRAID 3.2 can now create startup DVDs with Tiger, and can update previous versions of the SoftRAID startup CD to the latest version.

SOFTRAID 3.2 takes full advantage of the new disk driver architecture built into Mac OS 10.4. Now that all Mac OS 10.4 based computers and Tiger Install DVDs include the SoftRAID driver, volume creation and management with SoftRAID is easier than ever.

New features were added for SoftRAID 3.2 to enhance SoftRAID's use on Xserves and Xserve RAIDs. These include SoftRAID 3.2's new 4 petabyte volume capacity (4,096 terabytes) and an enhanced algorithm for rebuilding Mirror volumes on Servers. The new algorithm is more efficient and also makes rebuilding Server volumes a higher priority. This results in much faster rebuilds on heavily loaded servers.

SoftRAID 3.2 also fixes several bugs, including a rare kernel panic situation, some permissions problems, and adds better support for Case Sensitive HFS under Tiger.

SoftRAID 3, which includes the SoftRAID application and driver, is available through the SoftRAID website, www.softraid.com or can be ordered through resellers worldwide.
