Looks like this is something like I described in Working with Advanced RAID 5 Layouts. As a temporal solution, I recommend using a Description File Description Files for RAID Configurations. It's still a lot of manual work, but at least when you make a mistake, you don't need to redo everything from the beginning.

R-Studio needs better time out controls or maybe an advanced panel for DR people. I see these posts on here for newer versions but I doubt many DR people actually use this software due to its limitations.

I think from that point when they signed agreement (or sold ) to Seagate , bosses won't allow to do r-studio more advanced than it became . Only for end customers. It is not so hard to improve it even to xfs , nfs ,vmfs, zfs etc.
It is beginning of the end.
Other commercial products are already ahead of its functionality.

DMDE (NTFS, FAT16/32, EXT2/3, RAID).

Can you name features in DMDE important to you that R-Studio lacks?

Too much to name.
Very small part of them:

The only thing I see is Files -> Synchronize & Compare.
RAIDs with parity is on the way, you already can open a file as a disk image. And I don't quite understand what "Assemble a disk from a set of files" means.

Why not name file systems? Are there no plans to add additionsl support, or it is planned already?

Wouldn't go into details,but they're planned, of course.
I quite agree that they should be added to R-Studio.
Which one you prefer?

I think you are mistaken
R-Studio can open raw image files but it can't open VHD containers. R-Studio also doesn't support delayed parity (I think In Winhex it's called Compaq RAID)

Yeah, I understand now.
RAIDs with delayed parity in on the way, though.

Doomer,

R-Studio does in fact support Delayed Parity, it is just sort of boring to enter. You need to draw your own block diagram each time.

Right , especialy when digits always somewhere in Cyberspace (out of screen)

Dr. Kiev, you'd be probably better off scripting the XML file, via Excel or something, with that number of drives, eh?

What have done many times.
Now, i don't use r-studio quite often because of this.
In other Sw you can set 16 delays quite fast.
What about yours SW ? Any good capabilities in this way ?

Suppose not. Our software is for end-users, one-button, fire-and-forget, either it works or it does not. If you need fancy configurations, you're not going to like it.
