written to the disk; when a power outage
occurs, any data in the cache will be lost.
Write-through
-
Data written to an array is
directly written onto the disk, meaning
lower write performance for higher data
availability. Without cache acting as a
buffer, write performance will be
noticeably slower but data loss due to
power outages or other failures is
significantly minimized.
Init Method
Quick
Init-
This option grants
immediate access to the RAID array by
skipping the initialization process, but
it will delete all data.
Note
:
Skipping
initialization is generally not
recommended since residual data on
disks may interfere with new data in
the future.
Foreground
-
The array initialization
process will be set at high priority.
During this time array will be non-
accessible, but initialization
completion time will be shorter.
Background
-
The array initialization
process will have a lower priority.
During this time array will be
accessible, but initialization
completion time will be longer.
Keep
Old
Data
- This option skips the
initialization process and all data on
each physical disk of the array will be
untouched
