Configuring
3-28
Initialization Mode:
Set the Initialization Mode for the Volume Set. Foreground mode is for faster
completion and background mode allows instant availability.
Stripe Size:
This parameter sets the size of the stripe written to each disk in a RAID 0, 1,
0+1, or 5 logical drive. You can set the stripe size to 4 KB, 8 KB, 16 KB, 32
KB, 64 KB, or 128 KB.
A larger stripe size produces better-read performance, especially if your com-
puter does mostly sequential reads. However, if you are sure that your com-
puter does random reads more often, select a small stripe size
Note: RAID level 3 can’t modify the stripe size.
Cache Mode:
The SurfRAID TRITON Mini supports Write-Through Cache and Write-Back
Cache.
Tag Queuing:
The Enabled option is useful for enhancing overall system performance under
multi-tasking operating systems. The Command Tag (Drive Channel) function
controls the SCSI command tag queuing support for each drive channel. This
function should normally remain enabled. Disable this function only when using
older SCSI drives that do not support command tag queuing
Max SCSI Speed:
The SurfRAID TRITON Mini supports 320 MB/sec as the highest data transfer
rate.
SCSI Channel/SCSI ID/SCSI Lun:
SCSI Channe l: The SurfRAID TRITON Mini supports one SCSI Channel.
SCSI ID : Each SCSI device attached to the SCSI card, as well as the card
itself, must be assigned a unique SCSI ID number. A Wide SCSI channel can
connect up to 15 devices.
SCSI LUN: Each SCSI ID can support up to 8 LUNs. Most SCSI host
adapters treat each LUN like a SCSI disk.
