Hard Disk Management

MAXX-2400HD employs an advanced Serial-ATA controller that manages twelve high- capacity hard disks operating in a RAID-6 configuration. This design increases system performance, and by storing parity data, can survive the loss of up to two drives in the array without data loss.

The Image Server brings a high level of reliability to Serial-ATA RAID through a new, switched architecture that exceeds the reliability of SCSI shared-bus storage systems. The earlier shared-bus architecture of SCSI had inherent performance limitations due to arbitration latency, since only one drive may use the bus at a time. Further, a single drive failure could bring the entire storage system down.

By contrast, the Image Server uses a non-blocking switched architecture to isolate the drives from one another. Any drive failure makes that drive unavailable and the rest of the storage system remains undisturbed. In addition, the Image Server uses Advanced Data Protection features, where all drive commands are checked to ensure that no command corruption has taken place over the entire data path.

Some of the MAXX-2400HD RAID-6 implementation features and benefits include:

Non-blocking switch technology with RAID-6 parity

On-board processor minimizes host CPU overhead

Easy-to-configure arrays

Dynamic sector repair for robust data protection

Accelerated RAID-6 writes

Easy, hot-swappable drive replacement from front panel
