T2 is a PIA.
You have to boot up into the security setting mode - turn off T2 security that blocks driver updates and such... and then install softraid. The 5.6.3 driver shipped with Apple OS doesn't work well with the current 10.15.4 release... which I'll note is because of changes Apple did to fix their own bugs. And 10.15 makes it harder than ever to replace an OS provided driver version with an updated driver.
While the T2 is great in stopping people from inadvertently installing malware that would can wreck havoc, it gets in the way of a lot of legitimate things today too.
If people didn't run their Macs in admin model would have a lot less to zero risk of the inadvertent malware installations (which are still far and few between on the Mac platform because you still have to say yes, install, and often put in the user password to 'invite the vampire' in. I understand Apple's direction here... and with 10.16 and 10.17 we'll start to see the solutions needed so that trusted/supported drivers like ours can also have beneficial updates without needing to disable Apple's new security approach.
These headaches with driver only occur on models 2017 and later that have the T2. iMac Pro was the first and then 2018 everything started getting T2.
