Your RAID drive is now ready for use in the new system.
Optimizing Streaming Performance
For optimum performance and bandwidth, NI recommends using a Gen 3 chassis with slot
cooling capacity ≥58 W.
Note
NI recommends periodically checking drive life and using software to
monitor the drive for errors, thermal events, TBW, and so on. For more information,
go to
ni.com/info
and enter the Info Code

.
Note
If the PXIe-8267 throughput is underperforming, complete the following
steps to optimize the drives manually.
1.
Back up your data before performing this operation.
2.
Delete the striped array and individually partition, format, and assign a letter to
the drives.
3.
In the Windows taskbar, search for the Defragment and Optimize Drives tool
and optimize the drives.
4.
When the operation completes, recreate the striped array.
Thermal Considerations
Because NVMe SSDs are thermally sensitive, NI has designed a heatsink cooling solution to
keep the NVMe SSDs as cool as possible under the system's rated operating temperature.
Should the drives get too hot, they have a throttling algorithm to reduce their read/write speed
to stay within their thermal operating envelope. This algorithm protects the drives from
thermal damage.
