Hardware Requirements This provides 100% data redundancy. If one drive fails, the controller switches reads and writes to the other. However, this requires two drives for the storage space of one drive. Use RAID 1 in applications and environments where data availability is most important. RAID 0+1: The controller combines the functions of both data striping (RAID 0) and disk mirroring (RAID 1). This RAID level is optimized for fault tolerance and performance. However, this requires two drives for the storage space of one drive (same as RAID 1). Use RAID 0+1 for most data needs. • Easy-to-use Wizard interface makes creating and modifying RAID Drives simple. • The RAIDPlus main window keeps you informed of the status of the RAID Drive(s). • Supports multiple hot spares for “on-the-fly” replacement of failed drives. • Replacement of failed drives can occur automatically, without user intervention. • Integrity checking compares the data of mirrored drives and ensures data consistency. • SCSI ID and RAID Drive name can be changed at any time. • Password security. Hardware Requirements Your PCI computer needs: • One available PCI bus master expansion slot for each FlashPoint • A 3.5" floppy drive • DC power for internal SCSI drives or AC power for external subsystems You will need one or more of the following cables: • A 50-pin flat ribbon cable to connect the FlashPoint adapter to internal devices (included with adapter kit) • A 68-pin flat ribbon cable, to connect the FlashPoint adapter to internal 1-2 RAIDPlus User’s Manual
