What's New With the 3ware 9000
Series Controllers
Enhancements and changes from the 7000/8000 Series controllers
to the 9000-series controllers include the following:
Single unit capacity scales to over 2 terabytes per controller
(64-bit LBA support)
128MB of ECC protected SDRAM, user upgradeable
Variable stripe size, for performance tuning by application
Background initialization of redundant array for immediate
availability and data redundancy
Support for legacy and SATA II OOB staggered drive spin-up
Emergency flash recovery protects against power failure during
firmware upgrades
RAID 50 support, which provides increased reliability
Enhanced write cache strategy for higher performance.
Support for drive-activity LED
Single disk units will allow RAID Level Migration and Online
Capacity Expansion (OCE) in a future firmware release of the
9000 series. These units are recommended over using
individual unconfigured (JBOD) drives, and by default,
unconfigured individual drives are not seen by the operating
system.
