The Nexsan SATAbeast has some built in maid-features like parking
the heads, slowing the drive rotation, and powering down a drive. Has anybody
actually enabled any of these features when using them for DSSU space? I’m
curious to see how fast the drives will spin back up and if that will trigger a
host time-out first or not. As VTLs, I would expect the timeouts to be
longer, but for DSSUs, it’s simply a file open… We’re
looking at a SATAbeast for both Solaris and Windows media servers.
Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.
Thanks,
…/Ed
