Product
Highlights
Capacity
Given the need for
scalable capacity growth of server storage, the SA-5300 offers
up to four SCSI channels for over two terabytes of storage from
a single PCI slot:
- Modular design offering 2 & 4 channel models plus, an
Ultra3 channel expansion card offering 2 additional external
SCSI channels for SA-5300 models with 2 channels
- 4 channel models support up
to 56 hard drives (4 TB = 72.8 GB x 56 hard drives)
- 2 channel models support up
to 28 hard drives (2 TB = 72.8 GB x 28 hard drives)
|
Fault Tolerance
Drive Mirroring (RAID 1, 1+0): This allocates half of the drive array to data and
the other half to mirrored
data, providing two copies of every file. It is a high-performance
RAID.
Software Suite
| All Smart Array products
share a common set of configuration, management and diagnostic
tools, including Array Configuration Utility XE (ACU-XE), Array Configuration Utility (ACU), Array Diagnostic Utility
(ADU), and Insight Manager. This software consistency of tools
reduces the cost of training for each successive generation of
product and takes much of the guesswork out of troubleshooting
field problems. These tools lower the total cost of ownership
by reducing training and technical expertise necessary to install
and maintain the Compaq server storage. |

Key
Features |
|
- Advanced Data Guarding (RAID
ADG) offers breakthrough level of fault protection of RAID volumes
up to 2TB and a total of 56 disk drive in a RAID volume. RAID ADG
provides fault protection greater than RAID 1 or RAID 5 and only
consume the capacity of 2 disk drives for distributed parity data.
RAID ADG protects against any 2 disk drive failures. This higher
level of protection is ideal to protect large logical volumes and
with high capacity disk drives where a failed drive rebuild time
may be significant.
Note: RAID ADG is a
standard feature on model SA-5304/128 and is available as an option
to other SA-5300 models.
Note: RAID ADG is a standard feature of SA-5304/128 and available
as an option to other models. RAID ADG requires a minimum of 64MB
battery backed cache.
