Chapter 5: Monitor and Manage<br />
11. Select a Stripe Block Size from the dropdown menu.<br />
Choose from 32, 64 or 128 KB. The size selected affects how FastTrak<br />
sends and receives data blocks to and from the drives. In general, a larger<br />
block size is better when handling large data transfers (such as A/V editing<br />
and graphics) while a smaller size is better when handling email and other<br />
common server data. The default is 64KB. When in doubt, use the default<br />
value.<br />
12. Select a Write Cache policy from the dropdown menu.<br />
• Auto Switch – The setting is made automatically. This is the default.<br />
• Write Back – <strong>Inc</strong>reases performance but can result in data loss in the<br />
event of a power failure.<br />
• Write Through – Slower but more secure.<br />
13. Select a Gigabyte Boundary policy from the dropdown menu.<br />
• GigaByte Boundary – Rounds the size of the logical drive down to the<br />
nearest whole gigabyte. It allows you to install a slightly smaller (within 1<br />
GB) replacement drive, should the need arise. This is the default.<br />
• None – No Boundary function.<br />
14. Select an Initialization policy from the dropdown menu.<br />
• Fast Initialization – Erases the reserve and master boot sectors of the<br />
physical drives being added to the logical drive.<br />
• Full Initialization – Erases all sectors of the physical drives being<br />
added to the logical drive.<br />
• None – No initialization. This choice is not recommended.<br />
15. Click the Finish button.
