P2000 G3 Smart Array Systems - RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50: P2000 G3 Smart Array Systems - RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50: P2000 G3 Smart Array Systems - RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50: P2000 G3 Smart Array Systems - RAID 0, 1, 3, 5, 6, 10, 50:
In addition to the usual RAID levels, the P2000 G3 features several important additional levels. RAID 6 is
the highest level of RAID protection. It allocates two sets of parity data across drives and allows
simultaneous write operations. It can withstand two simultaneous drive failures without downtime or data
loss. RAID 10 is mirroring and striping without parity. It is the most popular of the multiple RAID levels,
allowing large arrays with high performance in most cases and superior fault tolerance. RAID 50
combines the block striping and parity of RAID 5 with the straight block striping of RAID 0, yielding
higher performance than RAID 5 through the addition of RAID 0, particularly during writes.
6Gb/s SAS (600MB/s bandwidth per physical link)
256 MB Cache available (256 MB cache enables use of the external ports)
Dependent upon attached enclosure. See drive enclosure QuickSpecs for details.
Provides increased server uptime by providing advanced storage functionality:
Online RAID Level Migration (0,1)
Pre-Failure Warranty
The following features offer detection of possible failures before they occur, allowing preventive action to
be taken:
S.M.A.R.T.: Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology first developed at HP detects
possible hard disk failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the component before failure
occurs.
Drive Parameter Tracking monitors drive operational parameters, predicting failure and notifying
the administrator.
Dynamic Sector Repairing continually performs background surface scans on the hard disk drives
during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors, ensuring data integrity.
Smart Array Cache Tracking monitors integrity of controller cache, allowing pre-failure
preventative maintenance.
