Itβs the same calculator, plus NAS planning for Synology SHR, Unraid, ZFS, SnapRAID and Btrfs, RAID 50 and 60, and RAID-Z. Search the App Store for βRAID Calculatorβ, or tap the banner in the app. UNTIL THEN, RAID CALC2 STILL DOES THE JOB β’ RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and JBOD β’ Usable and raw capacity, and how efficient the layout is β’ What the space will show as in TiB, the binary units most systems report β’ A drive strip showing which drives hold data, parity or mirrors β’ How many drive failures the array survives β’ Speed and availability ratings, with a plain-language guide to every level β’ A caution before a risky rebuild on large drives, with a one-tap switch to RAID 6 β’ One-tap fixes when the drive count doesnβt suit the level ON EVERY SCREEN β’ On iPad, and on iPhone Duo opened in landscape, results sit beside inputs β’ Rotates to landscape on iPhone β’ Built for iOS 26 with native controls and Liquid Glass β’ Dark mode, Dynamic Type at every size, and full VoiceOver support β’ In English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, German, Traditional and Simplified Chinese, Korean and Brazilian Portuguese PRIVATE No accounts, no tracking, no ads.

SysOpsKit

SysOpsKit is a practical toolkit for sysadmins, DevOps engineers, SREs, and support teams. The app combines two things in one place: - an offline-first command handbook - a focused set of daily network and data utilities You can quickly find and reuse commands for Windows, Linux, and macOS (PowerShell, CMD, Bash, Zsh), save favorites, and build your own snippet collection with notes. Core capabilities: - Fast search by title, description, and tags - Favorites and personal command snippets - Copy-ready command cards with clear structure - Sync of favorites and custom snippets across devices Built-in utilities cover common operational tasks such as: - SSH terminal for remote administration - SFTP client for browsing and transferring files over SSH - TCP/UDP diagnostics, port checks, and common ports scan - DNS lookups, WHOIS/RDAP, IP info, and CIDR/subnet calculations - HTTP requests, cURL parsing, and WebSocket testing - JWT inspection, UUID/ULID generation/validation, HMAC calculator - JSON/YAML formatting, regex testing, and TLS diagnostics - Messaging protocol checks for MQTT, AMQP, and WAMP Instead of switching between many small tools and websites, keep your day-to-day ops workflow in one app that still works when your connection is limited.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: RAID Calc2 at none against SysOpsKit's 1. SysOpsKit's advantage is update cadence (every 3 days vs every 5 months) and iOS requirement (15.6 vs 26.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
