RAIDS (which ones do people like?)

macOS supports RAID 1, 0 and 10 out of the box. For RAID 5 you’ll need to use SoftRAID, which may have come with a drive from OWC. I know they actively maintain SoftRAID but since it is a low level thing, it is one to watch out for when upgrading major system versions or if you need to move your enclosure to another workstation.
