For sustained data transfers -- The FastTrak100-Lite array will write
data at the rate of the slowest HDD in the array. The FastTrak100-Lite
array will read data at twice the rate of the slowest HDD in the array.
DRIVE ISSUES
Q: Can I add a drive to a FastTrak100-Lite RAID array via hot-swap
and dynamically adjust the array size/configuration?
A: No. The FastTrak100-Lite system does not support dynamically
adjustable RAID size/configurations.
Q: Do the HDDs on the FastTrak100-Lite have to be the same size?
A: The HDDs that you use with the FastTrak100-Lite do not have to be the
same size. If the sizes differ, the FastTrak100-Lite will "adjust" the
HDDs so that they are compatible. Basically, it will truncate the bigger
HDD so the sizes match. Any unused space that results from this is
unusable, so don't use HDDs that differ too much. It'll work, but it's a
waste.
Q: Can I take a set of drives which make up an array created on one
FastTrak100-Lite server and move it to another FastTrak100-Lite
server?
A: Yes. All FastTrak100-Lite controllers read the arrays the same way.
Once the drives are all connected, you must restart the system for it to
recognize the newly-inserted array configuration.
Q: Can I take a drive used in a FastTrak100-Lite array and access it
directly with a different controller, such as the one integrated on
the motherboard?
A: Yes, but only under certain configurations. The following array
configurations will allow the drive(s) to be accessed individually on
another controller: mirror (RAID 0), single drive striped (RAID 1), or
152
