Event logging
•
Predictive caching that analyzes disk read requests made by the host to determine
whether they are part of a pattern
If a pattern is detected, the controller uses the pattern to predict which data the
host is likely to request in the near future, then reads this data into the cache.
•
Intelligent hot spare that automatically replaces a failed drive with a designated
hot spare drive
When multiple hot spares are available on a controller, the intelligent hot-spare
algorithm picks the best one based on capacity and bus location. RAID 1 and
RAID 5 arrays are rebuilt automatically using the new drive.
