I put my Mac to sleep and this morning I found it crashed and restarted again. At some point I guess due to updates, these restarts stopped until last night. In the beginning I used to have more frequently those “Your computer has restarted due to a problem” messages/restarts. I’ve been using MacBook Pro 16″ 2019 for over a year now. However, users of the MacBook are facing an issue which seems to have been around for quite some time.Īs per multiple reports from various online platforms, users are still facing the crashing and kernel panic issue. Since a lot of people use the iMacs and MacBooks across the globe, they face issues which are either widespread or at an individual level but similar in nature.Īpple recently released the macOS Big Sur update version 11.3.1 with some security improvements. That would be nice, but I'm not sure if that's worth $179 to me.New updates are being added at the bottom of this story… Original story (published on May 06, 2021) follows:Īpple has a vast user base for its iPhone, iPad, iMac, and MacBook series simply because of the smooth user experience. It would seem that SoftRAID's benefit in my case would be for the diagnostic tools/warnings built-in to the software, letting me know about impending drive failures.

With all this in mind, is there really any reason for me to pony up for SoftRAID? From what I see, there would be no speed advantage. So, just a little time down the tubes, but usually not more than a few hours.

If the RAID crashes, I can re-create the footage from the original footage archives. Which is why I only use them basically as a fast drive for editing.I keep all my original footage backed up on other drives, and just copy over what I need for the project.

I fully understand that this type of RAID has no redundancy or ability to recover from a drive failure. I've created arrays using Apple's built in RAID software before on numerous machines for this purpose. I'm putting together a striped raid (RAID level 0) so I have some fast storage for video editing.
