Drive Usage

:

Sonnet Technologies has qualified the hard drives listed below 
for use in Fusion D400QR5 storage systems. These drives were 
chosen for their superior performance, error handling, and 
reliability characteristics, especially when used in RAID groups. 
One important difference between these drives and standard 
hard drives is how quickly each handles read errors—these 
qualified drives attempt to recover from errors for just a few 
seconds, while standard hard drives may take minutes. Because 
RAID controller cards and software-based RAID schemes allow 
only a very short time for drives to recover before dropping them 
from the RAID group, hard drive manufacturers recommend 
against using standard hard drives in RAID storage systems. The 
hard drives qualified by Sonnet also feature improved vibration 
characteristics that influence and support storage reliability. We 
recommend the use of these Enterprise/RAID edition hard drives 
and select, Sonnet certified desktop hard drives in your Fusion 
storage system to ensure system reliability and performance. 
STANDARD DRIVES MAY NOT BE SUPPORTED AND MAY 
DEGRADE SYSTEM RELIABILITY AND PERFORMANCE.
