Promise Technology FastTrak S150 SX4 Manual de usuario descargar pdf (Pagina 2)

Controller Specifications

• Four SATA ports at 1.5Gpbs (150 MB/sec)

• Storage capacity up to 1 terabyte (with four 250 GB drives)

• 32-Bit, 66 MHz PCI bus; PCI 2.2 compliant

•Promise RAID Processor with XOR engine for RAID parity calculations and memory controller for

local cache memory

• 64MB Controller cache: 168-pin DIMM slot supports up to 256MB of ECC or non-ECC SDRAM memory

(min. 64MB required).

• FRAM for RAID5 transaction log to avoid data corruption in the event of application hangs

• Built-in GPIO ports for enclosure management

RAID Levels Supported

• RAID 5 — Striped parity on 3-4 drives, ultimate data protection, capacity and performance balance

• RAID 10 — Data mirrored then striped across four drives, for double drive failure protection

• RAID 1 — Mirrored pairs of drives for data protection with increased read performance

• RAID 0 — Data striped across 2-4 drives for increased performance but no data protection

• JBOD — Just a Bunch Of Drives: independent connected drives with no RAID interconnection

RAID Fault Tolerance and Robustness Features

• Online array expansion and RAID level migration to add capacity on the fly

•PerfectRAID™ technology for error handling and recovery of fatal, media and disk errors

• DRM™ (Drive Roaming Metadata) technology

– Supports drive roaming to any port on the controller

– Allows array roaming in the event of controller failure

• Support hot swap of failed drives and hot spare

• Automatic/manual rebuild of hot spare drive

• Background initialization for instant drive availability

• Background rebuild, migration and synchronization

• Error and event logging

•Variable stripe block size support to meet various application requirements

• Optimal disk utilization with gigabyte rounding

• Support for SMART capable drives

• Synchronization can be scheduled periodically for RAID array data consistency

Advanced Performance Features

• Multiple caching policy support:

–Write-back and write-through: Write-back for maximum write performance and

write-through for data protection in the event of application freeze

–Predictive read ahead caching based on application and data types

•Packet commands and interrupt coalescing minimize interrupts for better performance

• Elevator seek streamlines commands based on where data is located on the disk

• Load balancing (mirrored RAID array only)

Promise Array Management

• Creates, deletes, expands, and converts disk arrays remotely

• Array synchronization and rebuild scheduling

• Displays drive and array status

• Monitors enclosure status and provides online event logging

• E-mail notification of disk, array, controller or enclosure events (e.g. error or degrade conditions)

Operating Systems*

•Windows: Windows 2000/XP/2003

• Linux: Red Hat 8.0/9.0 and SuSE Linux

• Free BSD 4.8 (coming soon)

FastBuild™ BIOS

• Array configuration utility at the BIOS level

• BIOS Boot Specification support: boot system from any array

• Flash-upgradable BIOS for future upgrades

Limited Warranty 3 Years
