Setting Rebuild Options
Disable Hot Spare/Auto Rebuild
checkbox turns off the use of a “hot” spare drive and
automatic rebuilding of a mirrored array. The default is unchecked (or enable Hot Spare/Auto
Rebuild).
Rebuild Rate
assigns the amount of importance that FastTrak100-Lite gives to mirroring data
from one drive to another in the background. A “high” setting assigns most of FastTrak100-
Lite’s resources to the rebuild process at the expense of responding to ongoing read/write data
requests by the operating system. A “low” setting gives priority to ongoing read/write data
requests by the operating system at the expense of the rebuild process and will typically result
in longer rebuild times. The setting shown above is the default.
Setting PCI Bus Utilization Option
NOTE: In most cases, a user does not need to change this setting since FastTrak100-Lite’s data
handling rarely conflicts with another PCI device. However, certain brands of video
capture cards can produce a “glitch” on play back of A/V files that may require
adjusting the default setting
devices (see Tips for Audio/Video Editing for more
information).
This section of the Options Window allows a user to change how much time the FastTrak100-
Lite holds on to the PCI bus to transfer data.
The default setting of “High” on the slider bar means FastTrak100-Lite holds on to the PCI bus
longer for data transfers to occur. A setting of “Less” reduces the time which FastTrak100-Lite
occupies on the PCI bus and frees that time for use by other PCI devices.
Once a bus setting has been selected, click the Apply button on the Options window to
implement changes immediately.
Setting Disk Parameters Option
Enable Write Cache
checkbox allows user to enable/disable write cache for hard drives that
include this performance feature. FastCheck™ automatically recognizes such drives
and enables the feature as the default setting. For drives that do not use write caching,
this option is automatically greyed out.
