  Specifications        
  RAID        
 
  • Multiple arrays configurable with dedicated or global hot spare drives
  • RAID levels supported: RAID 0, 1 (0+1), 3, 5, 6, 10, 30, 50, 60, and NRAID
  • Adding new drives
    • Copying and replacing drives with drives of larger capacity
  • Automatic background rebuild
  • Configurable stripe size and write policy per array
  • Intelligent drive handling:
  • In degraded mode: skips irreparable blocks to continue rebuild
  • In normal operation: data-block verification and repair
