failure; however, the drives are striped for better performance.

5. Select a value for Disk Write Caching. See
information on the options.
6. Check Enable periodic consistency check to enable a monthly parity or mirror consistency
check.
The check helps to prevent a single drive failure from becoming a two-drive failure, resulting in
data loss. The check runs for several hours and can affect performance of the ix4-300d. If you do
not want to run the check, remove the check mark for this option.
