Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 69 How Do SAS De vices Communicat e? SAS devices comm unicate with each other thr ough links. A link is a ph ysical c onnection between tw o ph ys.
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 70 What’s a SAS Port? Note: Because the ph ysical link between SAS de vices is from ph y to ph y , rather than por t to por t, a “por t” is more of a vir tual concept, di fferent from what is normally considered a por t on other types of RAID controllers and storage devices.
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 71 How are Disk Driv es Identified in SAS? In the BIOS and in the management u tilities (see Ident ify ing Disk Dr ives on page 90 ), disk drives ar e identified in.
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 72 Some backplanes support daisy-chain e xpansion to other back planes. Fo r example, y ou can daisy-chain (connect one to the next) up t o nine A daptec S50 enclosures t o a single SAS card in a host system.
Appendix A: Introduction to SAS ● 73 How is SAS Different from Parallel SCSI? In summary , althoug h SAS and paral lel SCSI both use the SCSI command set, ho w they mov e data from one place to another is ve r y different.

Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 75 Understanding Drive Segments A drive s egme nt is a disk dr iv e or portion of a disk dr iv e that is used to cr eate an array . A disk drive can incl ude both RAID segments (segments that are part of an arr ay) and a vailable segments.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 76 RAID 1 Arra ys A RAID 1 array is built fr om tw o disk driv es, where o ne disk driv e is a mirror of the other (the same data is stored on each disk driv e). Comp ar ed to ind ependent disk driv es, RAID 1 arrays pro vide improv ed performance, with twice the read rate and an equal write rate of single disks.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 77 RAID 10 Arra ys A R AI D 10 ar r ay is b ui lt f rom tw o o r m or e e qu a l- si ze d RA ID 1 ar r ay s. D at a i n a R AI D 10 ar r ay is both str iped and mi rrored. Mirroring provides data protection, and striping i mpro ves performance.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 78 RAID 5 Arra ys A RAID 5 array is bui lt from a minimum o f three disk drives, and uses data striping and parity data to pr o vide redundancy . P arity data pro vides data prot ection, and striping impro v es performance.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 79 RAID 5EE Arra ys A RAID 5EE array—also known as a hot space —is similar to a RAID 5 array e x cept that it includes a distributed spare drive and must be built from a minimum of four disk driv es.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 80 RAID 50 Arra ys A RAID 50 array is built fr om six to forty-eight disk drives configur ed as two or more RAID 5 arrays, and stripes stored dat a and parity data across all disk drives i n both RAID 5 arrays. (F or more inf ormation, see RAID 5 A rrays on page 78 .
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 81 RAID 6 Arra ys A RAID 6 array—also known as dual drive fail ure pr otection—is similar to a RAID 5 array because it uses data striping and par ity data to provide redundancy . Ho wev er , RAID 6 arr ays include tw o inde pendent sets of parity data instead of one.
Appendix B: Understanding RAID ● 82 Selecting the Best RAID Le ve l U se thi s table to select the RAID lev els that ar e most appr opriate fo r the logical drives on y our storage space, based on the numbe r of available disk driv es and y our requir ements f or performance and r eliability .
