It stripes two pairs of drives then has those to striped pairs mirror each other. The RAID 0+1 mode, which LaCie calls 'SAFE and FAST,' may be safe, but it isn't too fast.

You'll find that the speed gap between firmware RAID and software RAID diminishes as the RAID volume fills up. (LaCie's S2S RAID management utility will only create a 4 drive RAID 0 set, though this will be changed soon to allow use of all 5.)Įven if you choose to use the firmware based RAID management scheme, there's some good news. That's because when we defined the drives as JBOD ('Just a Bunch Of Drives) and used Apple's Disk Utility to create a software based RAID 0 set, the S2S speeds jumped up to where we would expect.īetter yet, by using software RAID, we were able to use all 5 drives for a RAID 0 set. But that appears to have more to do with the firmware based RAID 0 management than the Port Multiplication scheme. The transfer rates of the LaCie S2S in RAID 0 mode were disappointing compared to 'conventional' four channel, four drive RAID 0 systems. S5 0 = software based RAID 0 using 5 drives S4 0 = software based RAID 0 using 4 drives

this could be just a check mark on a feature list if it can't deliver the full 300Mb/s bandwidth to those 5 drives. In other words, in the case of LaCie's S2S, the only thing connecting their 5 bay enclosure to their host adapter is a single eSATA external cable.īut. The good news with the PM 'aware' host adapter and enclosure is that you can connect multiple drives to a single data channel/port. With the arrival of 300MB/s SATA II, the 'waste' was about to get worse. What's the big deal with Port Multiplication or 'PM'? Up to now, the 150MB/s bandwidth of each SATA I data channel has gone to waste since only one 65MB/s drive could be used per channel/port. I've been dying to try it since I heard it has Port Multiplication - a first in the Mac community. Many of you have emailed me wondering about the new LaCie SATA II Five Bay RAID Storage System.

It can also detect when a disk is starting to become less reliable.Posted September 3, 2005, by rob-ART morgan, mad scientist.

Most RAID products just protect you from losing files when a disk fails.

Thunderbolt 2 enclosure combined with state of the art RAID software.

Mirror volumes provide the greatest level of protection.

A SoftRAID volume can protect you from disk failure, hardware failure and be part of a backup strategy to protect your business from theft, fire, flooding and other calamities.

If a disk fails in a stripe volume, you will lose all the files on that volume.

They are also good for small files which are frequently read but infrequently written.

SoftRAID RAID volumes are ideal for reading and writing large files.

RAID volumes are faster than RAID 1+0 volumes.

SoftRAID RAID 1+0 volumes have a great combination of speed, simplicity.

You can’t get this level of flexibility and performance from hardware RAID.

The disks can even be in different enclosures to give you more flexibility and higher performance.

Any SoftRAID volume can use up to 16 disks.

You can create volumes with several different RAID levels.

The SoftRAID Monitor is always watching your disks and volumes.

You can even have the SoftRAID Monitor notify you via email whenever there is a problem.

You can test a disk before you start using it, monitor it for defects.

SoftRAID can also create RAID 4 and RAID 5 volumes.

You can convert your AppleRAID stripe volume to a RAID 1+0 volume.

SoftRAID supports RAID 4, RAID 5 and RAID 1+0 volumes.
