If you have a Ciprico RAID disk array connected to your system, the
Ciprico Write Mode option will be available. When selected, this
mode optimizes your system to use the high-performance features of
your Ciprico disk array.
Important If you also have other types of A/V drives, leave
Ciprico
Write Mode
selected only when working with your Ciprico disk array.
For example, make sure that
Ciprico Write Mode
is selected before
capturing material to your Ciprico disk array, but clear this option before
using your other drives.

To start the disk performance test, click the Start Test button. The test
progress is displayed in a dialog box.

The test results appear in the Storage dialog box as a range of
maximum data rates for each of the write and read tests. The lowest
number is the maximum data rate your A/V drive will always be able
to achieve. The highest number is the maximum data rate your drive
can achieve under optimum conditions.
You should use the lower (conservative) number as a guideline when
selecting the data rate for creating .avi files on DigiSuite LE to be sure
you won’t exceed the data rate your A/V drive is capable of achieving.
