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
