1.5 STORAGE POLICIES
You can configure the AES-3502UE Storage to use any of the following Storage Policies to map the
appliance’s physical hard drives to virtual drives that are visible to the host computer. The virtual drives are called
volumes
.
The host operating system treats each volume as if it were a single physical drive. This virtualization allows you to
overcome restrictions that are imposed by physical hard drives, such as speed, storage capacity or data storage
reliability.
1.5.1 STANDARD (INDIVIDUAL)
The STANDARD (Individual) storage policy enables each hard drive to be seen separately as one drive. When
using a SATA host controller, STANDARD should only be used if the SATA host controller provides Port Multiplier
(PM) support. If a host is not PM-aware, only a single drive is presented (drive 0). No such limitation if using a
USB host connection.
STANDARD storage policy is available for a standalone (non-cascaded) Storage or the top-level node of a
cascaded configuration, but not for subordinate nodes. Even though you can use the DIP switch to select
STANDARD mode for any node in a cascaded configuration, only the first STANDARD volume of any subordinate
