"Alsoft worked closely with SoftRAID to make sure SoftRAID 3 works well
with DiskWarrior 3.", said Al Dion, President of Alsoft. "We, at Alsoft,
are very happy to see our friends at SoftRAID release their Mac OS X
product."

3 deliver a powerful RAID solution for video editing and server backup on
Mac OS X."
