Page 76: Terminology Used In This Chapter
Although you can use both SAS and SATA disk drives in the same SAS domain (see 80), Adaptec recommends that you not combine SAS and SATA disk drives within the same array or logical drive. The difference in performance between the two types of disk drives may adversely affect the performance of the array. -
Page 77: How Do Sas Devices Communicate
How Do SAS Devices Communicate? SAS devices communicate with each other through links. A link is a physical connection between two phys. As shown in the following figure, SAS devices contain ports (see and each phy contains one transmitter and one receiver—one transceiver. A phy can belong to one port only. -
Page 78: What's A Sas Port
What’s a SAS Port? Note: Because the physical link between SAS devices is from phy to phy, rather than port to port, a “port” is more of a virtual concept, different from what is normally considered a port on other types of RAID controllers and storage devices. A port is one or more phys. -
Page 79: How Are Disk Drives Identified In Sas
About Your RAID Controller on page 17 LED connections and locations. Once you have connected to a backplane, use Adaptec Storage Manager to manage your disk drives. For more information, refer to the Adaptec Storage Manager User’s Guide on the Adaptec Storage Manager Installation CD. -
Page 80: Sas Expander Connections
Some backplanes support daisy-chain expansion to other backplanes. For example, you can daisy-chain (connect one to the next) up to nine Adaptec S50 enclosures to a single SAS card in a host system. SAS Expander Connections A SAS expander device literally expands the number of end devices that you can connect together. -
Page 81: How Is Sas Different From Parallel Scsi
How is SAS Different from Parallel SCSI? In summary, although SAS and parallel SCSI both use the SCSI command set, how they move data from one place to another is very different. To support point-to-point serial data transport, SAS introduces new types of connectors, cables, connection options, and terminology. -
Page 82: Understanding Raid
This appendix describes the RAID levels supported by your Adaptec RAID controller, and provides a basic overview of each to help you select the best level of protection for your data... -
Page 83: Understanding Drive Segments
Understanding Drive Segments A drive segment is a disk drive or portion of a disk drive that is used to create an array. A disk drive can include both RAID segments (segments that are part of an array) and available segments. -
Page 84: Raid 1 Arrays
RAID 1 Arrays A RAID 1 array is built from two disk drives, where one disk drive is a mirror of the other (the same data is stored on each disk drive). Compared to independent disk drives, RAID 1 arrays provide improved performance, with twice the read rate and an equal write rate of single disks. -
Page 85: Raid 10 Arrays
RAID 10 Arrays A RAID 10 array is built from two or more equal-sized RAID 1 arrays. Data in a RAID 10 array is both striped and mirrored. Mirroring provides data protection, and striping improves performance. Drive segment size is limited to the size of the smallest disk drive in the array. For instance, an array with two 250 GB disk drives and two 400 GB disk drives can create two mirrored drive segments of 250 GB, for a total of 500 GB for the array, as shown in this figure. -
Page 86: Raid 5 Arrays
RAID 5 Arrays A RAID 5 array is built from a minimum of three disk drives, and uses data striping and parity data to provide redundancy. Parity data provides data protection, and striping improves performance. Parity data is an error-correcting redundancy that’s used to re-create data if a disk drive fails. In RAID 5 arrays, parity data (represented by Ps in the next figure) is striped evenly across the disk drives with the stored data. -
Page 87: Raid 5Ee Arrays
RAID 5EE Arrays A RAID 5EE array—also known as a hot space—is similar to a RAID 5 array except that it includes a distributed spare drive and must be built from a minimum of four disk drives. Unlike a hot spare, a distributed spare is striped evenly across the disk drives with the stored data and parity data, and can’t be shared with other logical disk drives. -
Page 88: Raid 50 Arrays
RAID 50 Arrays A RAID 50 array is built from six to forty-eight disk drives configured as two or more RAID 5 arrays, and stripes stored data and parity data across all disk drives in both RAID 5 arrays. (For more information, see RAID 5 Arrays on page The parity data provides data protection, and striping improves performance. -
Page 89: Raid 6 Arrays
RAID 6 Arrays A RAID 6 array—also known as dual drive failure protection—is similar to a RAID 5 array because it uses data striping and parity data to provide redundancy. However, RAID 6 arrays include two independent sets of parity data instead of one. Both sets of parity data are striped separately across all disk drives in the array. -

Any changes you made take effect after the computer restarts. Modifying Your Controller’s Configuration Note: Default controller settings are suitable for most computers. Adaptec recommends that you do not change the default setting. To modify your controller’s basic settings, select Controller Configuration from the main SerialSelect menu. - Page 98 When set to Enable All, write cache is enabled on all disk drives on the controller. (Enabling the write cache overrides any individual drive settings in Adaptec Storage Manager.) When set to Disable All, write cache is not used on the disk drives. When set to Drive Specific, write cache is enabled/disabled on a per-drive basis in Adaptec Storage Manager.

The default setting is Auto, which allows the SAS card to adjust the data transfer rate, as needed. -

The location information of a disk drive is determined by three types of connections: Direct attached drives ● for example CN1 (connector 1) is connected to DEV1 (device 1). For more information, see Direct-attach Connections Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility page 92). page 92). - Page 101 Appendix C: Using the Adaptec RAID Configuration Utility Storage Enclosure Processor (SEP) managed devices ● active backplane. Box0 (enclosure 0) is connected to slot0 (disk drive slot 0 in the enclosure). For more information, see Expanders ● —The connections is determined by an expander. Exp0 (expander 0) is connected to phy0 (phy 0 within a connector).
