NOTE: The number of virtual disks supported by the PERC 6/i and the CERC 6/i cards is limited by the configuration supported by the system. PCI Architecture PERC 6 controllers support a Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCI-E) x8 host interface. CERC 6/i Modular controller supports a PCI-E x4 host. PCI-E is a high-performance input/output (I/O) bus architecture designe

Dell_PERC6.1_UG.book Page 17 Wednesday, April 15, 2009 4:18 PM RAID Description RAID is a group of independent physical disks that provides high performance by increasing the number of drives used for saving and accessing data. A RAID disk subsystem improves I/O performance and data availability. The physical disk group appears to the host system either as a single storage unit or multiple logical units. Data throughput improves because several disks are accessed simultaneously. RAID sys

Dell_PERC6.1_UG.book Page 18 Wednesday, April 15, 2009 4:18 PM RAID Terminology Disk Striping Disk striping allows you to write data across multiple physical disks instead of just one physical disk. Disk striping involves partitioning each physical disk storage space into stripes of the following sizes: 8 KB, 16 KB, 32 KB, 64 KB, 128 KB, 256KB, 512KB, and 1024KB. These stripes are interleaved in a repeated sequential manner. The part of the stripe on a single physical disk is called a st

Dell_PERC6.1_UG.book Page 19 Wednesday, April 15, 2009 4:18 PM Disk mirroring provides 100 percent redundancy, but is expensive because each physical disk in the system must be duplicated. Figure 2-2 shows an example of disk mirroring. NOTE: Mirrored physical disks improve read performance by read load balance. Figure 2-2.
