Verification on Writes
Errors may occur when a hard drive writes data. To avoid the write
error, the controller can force hard drives to verify written data.
There are three selectable methods:
!
Verification on LD Initialization Writes
Performs Verify-after-Write when initializing a logical drive
!
Verification on LD Rebuild Writes
Performs Verify-after-Write during rebuild process
!
Verification on LD Normal Drive Writes
Performs Verify-after-Write during normal I/Os
Each method can be enabled or disabled individually. Hard drives
will perform Verify-after-Write according to the selected method.
Move cursor bar to the desired item, then press [ENTER].
Choose Yes in the confirm box to enable or disable the function.
Follow the same procedure to enable or disable each method.
IMPORTANT!
•
The “verification on Normal Drive Writes” method will affect the “write”
performance during normal use.
