4.2 Seriel ATA HDD
Populated with two l Serial ATA (SATA) hard disk drives (HDDs), each SteelVine
Storage Reference Design Storage Appliance can manage as much as 2,000
gigabytes (i.e., 2 terabytes) of data, depending on the capacity of the hard disk
drives that are installed. By combining multiple SteelVine Storage Reference
Designs in a daisy-chained hierarchy structure, you can increase the total storage
capacity of your
system.
4.3. Four Working Mode
（BIG，JBOD,RAID0/FAST,RAID1/SAFE）
You can configure the 1328-SIL5744 to use any of the following Storage Policies
to map the appliance's physical hard drives to virtual drives that are visible to the
host computer. The virtual drives are
called volumes in the GUI. The host
operating system treats each volume as if it were a single physical drive. This
virtualization allows you to overcome restrictions that are imposed by physical
hard drives, such as speed, storage capacity or data storage reliability.
BIG
The BIG storage policy concatenates a series of
physical hard drives as a single
large volume; resulting in a seamless expansion of virtual volumes beyond the
physical limitations of singularly connected hard drives. SteelVine BIG storage
policy delivers maximum storage space without a single large capacity and costly
hard drive.
Hard drive A and B are concatenated into a
single virtual volume in the Figure
below with a storage capacity that is equal to the sum of each of the physical hard
drives A and B.
