1.3.2 DATA PERFORMANCE
The DAS501t can also increase storage throughput by combining the throughput of multiple drives into a
single volume. RAID levels 1, 10, and 5 support this ability. Furthermore, each volume can be tailored to
provide the best performance for the data contained on that disk.
1.3.3 DATA VERSATILITY
The DAS501t software driver also supports Contiguous and Concatenated drives for applications which do not
require increased security or performance.
1.4 EASE OF USE
The DAS501t utility offers an easy to use utility for creating and managing your storage. It also supports the
latest SATA enhancements including SATA-II Port Multiplier support, and up to 3Gbit/sec transfer rates on
controllers that support that speed. Creating and deleting volumes is also possible without requiring a restart of
the operating system and rebuilds never require the data to be taken off-line.
Drives can also be moved between controllers without losing the data.
