Apple RAIDs


macOS can create several software RAIDs from disks connected to a Mac computer: RAID1 (Mirror set), RAID0 (Stripe set), and Concatenated disk set.

R‑Studio for Linux detects components of Apple RAID sets and creates their virtual RAIDs automatically. At the same time, R‑Studio for Linux gives access to the individual components of the Apple RAID sets (hard drives and images ).

The M acOS Components tab also allows you to manually disconnect or connect the components, for example, if they are such damaged that R‑Studio for Linux cannot recognize them as parts of a broken Apple RAID. Select the object from the drop-down box and click the Connect button. R‑Studio for Linux displays the objects it recognizes as the components of the Apple RAID in blue.
