StorCase Technology, Inc. InfoStation 12-bay RAID User's Guide - Rev. C00
1.2 Array 2
1.3 Array 3
1.4 Array 4
This function enables the user to configure/reconfigure Arrays 2-4 (skip these sections if
single array is sufficient).
1.5 Stripe Size
NOTES: Stripe size remains constant for any RAID, for both single and multiple arrays.
Smaller stripe sizes provide faster access for small randomly-accessed files.
Larger stripe sizes increase transfer rates for large sequentially-accessed
files (such as video).
Set the striping block size in either 8, 16, 32, 64, or 128 (default) sectors.
1.6 Write Buffer
Select either Enable (default) or Disable buffer for write operations to memory.
1.7 Performance
NOTES: Sequential is best for saving large amounts of data. Random is best for saving
smaller amounts of data.
Configuration changes made in the RAID Params menu must be saved and
controller restarted before changes can take effect. Refer to section "5
NVRAM" for further information.
Set writing method as either Random or Sequential.
