News & Press ReleasesJanuary 7, 2007 SoftRAID Startup Volumes on IntelSebastopol, CA. SoftRAID LLC, newly headquarted in Sebastopol, CA, today released version 3.6 of SoftRAID, an important Intel-based upgrade to their RAID backup and performance software for the Mac. SoftRAID 3.6 offers complete support for all Intel processors, including the Mac Pro and Intel Xserve. Most significantly, SoftRAID version 3.6 now offers the ability to boot Intel Macs from SoftRAID Mirror and Stripe Volumes. In a change from previous versions, SoftRAID 3.6 supports Tiger (Mac OS X 10.4.x) exclusively. Panther and Jaguar support will be maintained with SoftRAID 3.5.x, but no new features will be added for those Mac OS X versions in future releases. "It was important to move forward with a Tiger-only release," said V.P. of Engineering Tim Standing, "as so many of the tools to communicate on a low level with the operating system have changed. By making this change now, we ensure that SoftRAID can keep up to date as Apple transitions to Leopard later this year." SoftRAID 3.6 fully supports 64-bit memory in the new Intel EFI booting architecture on the Mac Pro and Intel Xserve. All the monitor and notification routines have been rewritten to maintain compatibility across both PowerPC and Intel platforms. In addition to the Intel support, SoftRAID 3.6 fixes numerous bugs including one which affected the speed of some Mirror volumes. It also improves support for burning startup DVDs and Utility program startup CDs, such as Disk Warrior 4. The SoftRAID 3.6 release is a free electronic update to all 3.x owners. The SoftRAID 3.6 electronic download is $129 and the retail CD is $149, both available from the SoftRAID website www.softraid.com and retail outlets worldwide.
