Avoid M1 crashes due to default 16k stripe unit size. Highlight all the disks you want in the RAID, then right click to select new volume, you’ll give it a name, format, and then continue, the next menu will ask for the stripe unit size. For the M1 Macs choose 64k instead of the default 16k.

I also endorse OWC RAID external drive boxes and SoftRAID. Careful though, with the new M1 and crash issues. My MacBook Pro M1 Max was repeatedly crashing and restarting on its own when plugged into my raids, especially when booting DaVinci Resolve. After posting on many forums, pressing Apple and OWC support a solution was reached. Do not format… Read more
