NVIDIA MediaShield Storage
NVIDIA MediaShield™ Storage offers a suite of features that safeguards your
most important digital media assets; always reliable, scalable, and accessible
which includes RAID and SATA drive support.
Multiple Disk Setup
Through a simple wizard-based interface, you can effortlessly set up your drives
for better data protection, faster disk access or maximum storage capacity.
MediaShield automatically selects RAID 0, 1, 0+1 or 5 configuration according
to your needs. Advanced users can access RAID options directly.
DiskAlert System
The event of a disk failure, MediaShield users see an image that highlights which
disk has failed to make it easier to identify, replace, and recover.
RAID Morphing
MediaShield allows users to change their current RAID set-up to another
configuration in a one-step process called morphing. This eliminates the need
to back up data and follow multiple steps in the process.
Bootable Multidisk Array
MediaShield storage fully supports the use of multi-disk array for loading the
operating system at power-up.
Six SATA 3Gb/s Drives
Combine up to six SATA drives into one volume for bigger, faster RAID. More
drives mean more configuration options such as six RAID 0 (striped) drives for
maximum throughput, or Dual RAID 5 arrays. Take advantage of the latest
SATA 3Gb/s hard disk drives with full support for native and tagged command
queuing and hot plug. Native command queuing provides higher disk
performance in a multi-threaded environment by performing out-of-order disk
accesses.
