Robust functionality and adaptive algorithms facilitate fast and flexible chip-level operation. If a specific disk drive fails to respond in time, the firmware accumulates data from the adjacent stripes of the array to satisfy applications that require fast return of data. Adaptive write caching is dynamically engaged for I/O requests of diverse characteristics, to optimize array performance. If the firmware recognizes sequential strings of write requests, write caching is automatically disabled. Write caching is automatically enabled when receiving random requests.
Intelligent Drive Handling
RAIDWatch & Media Scan
The Rorke Data Difference
Media Scan:
Media Scan is an innovative Intelligent Drive Handling function that can be used for data retrieval from degraded or damaged hard drives. If two bad blocks occur on two member drives of an array, the integrity of the stored data will be endangered. Intelligent Drive Handling capabilities can be used to retrieve data from the damaged sectors.
Media Scan is able to handle ATA drives in both the degraded mode and during the rebuild process. Other Intelligent Drive Handling features, which provide further data security, include the transparent resetting of hung hard drives, Power-failure management and bad drive handling during LD expansion.
