5-26 Disk Array Parameters
IMPORTANT!
The “verification on Normal Drive Writes” method will affect the
“write” performance of your RAID system.
3. Max. Drive Response Timeout(msec):
This option prepares the array for applications featuring
streaming data flow operations and continuous reading such as
Video Streaming.
In situations such as drive failure or the occurrence of bad
blocks, a read returned after several hundreds of milliseconds
will be too long and cause choppy audio or dropped video
frames.
The Maximum Response Time option provides a timeout value
for processing read requests. If timeout is reported on a specific
member of an array, firmware immediately retrieves data from
the parity data and the striped blocks that reside on other
members of the array. In this way, causes of delay can be
eliminated.
4. AV Optimization:
The AV optimization option applies to the emerging Audio/Video
or streaming data flow applications such as the VOD/MOD, NLE
(Non-Linear Editing), and multi-streaming.
Fewer Steams: (for applications featuring sequential I/Os
and large block sizes; e.g., Video Editing)
1. The Maximum Drive Response Timeout will be
automatically set to 160ms.
2. The drive cache-flush threshold is set to a value lower
than Galaxy’s traditional Write-back Flush threshold.
3. A minimum read-ahead size is determined by the
Stripe size.
4. The Synchronized Cache Communications between
RAID controllers is disabled.
Multiple Steams: (for applications featuring smaller I/Os and
more outstanding I/Os, e.g., Media Broadcasting)
1. The Maximum Drive Response Timeout will be
automatically set to 960ms.
