SoftRAID 3.3 ships; Faster mirror rebuilds and Disk Warrior compatibility.

Mendocino, CA.

Mirror rebuilds are significantly improved under SoftRAID 3.3. Volume optimization algorithms have been changed to make Mirror rebuilds faster and more transparent. Volumes optimized for Workstation and Server now get higher rebuilding priority from the OS, allowing faster rebuilds regardless of other disk activity.

SoftRAID 3.3 fixes a conflict with DiskWarrior 3 under Mac OS 10.4, which prevented users from using the popular diagnostic and repair utility with the SoftRAID 3.2.x driver.

SoftRAID 3.3 improves compatibility with third-party SATA cards, enclosures, and drives. SoftRAID 3.3's main window now assigns each SATA bus a unique bus ID.

"Our engineers continue to refine SoftRAID 3 to give our customers the best backup and archive solution available," said Miriam Block, Managing Director."We have also invested considerable time working with third parties to test their hardware configurations to ensure compatibility with SoftRAID."

Block also noted that SoftRAID is nearing completion on Mac-Intel compatibility and expects to be ready when Apple releases the first Intel-based hardware for Mac OS X.

The SoftRAID 3.3 release is a free electronic upgrade to all 3.x owners. The SoftRAID 3.3 electronic download is $129 and the retail CD is $149, both available from the SoftRAID website www.softraid.com and retail outlets worldwide.
