New Accelsior 2 TB SSD in 2019 MP: Any advantage formatting with SoftRAID instead of Disk Utilities?

[JoeM]

I hadn't really read the spec on the Accelsior SSD and thought it was merely a 2 TB drive but on reading saw that it's actually 4 NVMe drives bundled together for 2 TB total. So I wound up using SoftRAID to create a striped RAID 0 volume. It's getting about 4500 MB/s write speeds and about 4700 MB/s read speeds.

The software was a bit of a pain to get working properly. After rebuilding the volume, initializing and trying to get the volume to mount by following trouble shooting posts on their website for a while I called OWC tech support and they got it sorted out.
