RAID Function
mirroring data from one drive to another in the background. A "high" setting
assigns most of RAID Function 's resources to the rebuild process at the
expense of responding to ongoing read/write data requests by the operating
system. A "low" setting gives priority to ongoing read/write data requests by the
operating system at the expense of the rebuild process and will typically result in
longer rebuild times. The setting shown above is the default.
Setting PCI Bus Utilization Option
NOTE: In most cases, a user does not need to change this setting since RAID
Function's data handling rarely conflicts with another PCI device. However, certain
brands of video capture cards can produce a "glitch" on play back of A/V files that may
require adjusting the default setting devices (see Tips for Audio/Video Editing for more
information).
This section of the Options Window allows a user to change how much time the
RAID Function holds on to the PCI bus to transfer data.
The default setting of "High" on the slider bar means RAID Function holds on to the
PCI bus longer for data transfers to occur. A setting of "Less" reduces the time which
RAID Function occupies on the PCI bus and frees that time for use by other PCI
devices.
Once a bus setting has been selected, click the Apply button on the Options window to
implement changes immediately.
Setting Disk Param(eters) Option
Enable Write Cache checkbox allows user to enable/disable write cache for hard
drives that include this performance feature. FastCheck automatically recognizes
such drives and enables the feature as the default setting. For drives that do not
use write caching, this option is automatically greyed out.
