1

 Redundant Array of Independent Devices, a method of combining drives to provide better protection 

and/or performance.

 Self Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Testing.   

*

 For 3132, this requires the use of a Port Multiplier device to access more than one disk per SATA channel.   

1.3 EASE OF USE   

The RSV-S8 utility offers an easy to use utility for creating and managing your storage. It also supports the 
latest SATA enhancements including SATA-II Port Multiplier support, and up to 3Gbit/sec transfer rates on 
controllers that support that speed. Creating and deleting volumes is also possible without requiring a 
restart of the operating system and rebuilds never require the data to be taken off-line.   

Drives can also be moved between controllers without losing the data.
