    Hi,
    The user manual and guides recommends weekly parity checks.
    How do we schedule unattended parity checks of the raid sets?
    No schedule option in UI. 3WARE 9xxxx has weekly,monthly task panel.

    RAID-10 is described as two RAID-0 arrays which are mirrored.
    Is this the real implementation?
    Common practice is to have multiple RAID-1 arrays which are striped.
    That is the recommend in many articles.

    Volume migration to recover from failed controller not described in
    user guide.

    Default drive attribute is write-back. That gives out of the box big
    performance numbers but
    is less safe.

    Manual claims sequential read ahead best performance. Conflicts with
    infortrend recommendation.

    Manual claims their RAID-5 and RAID-6 has similar performance.
    Diagram shows P+Q parity encoding. So unless sufficient cache ram to
    buffer multiple
    tracks, P+Q RAID-6 has 2 parity writes for each data write.

    Claims 3 days battery hold up of cache. Table only shows battery
    holding 52 hours with
    128M module. What happens when you use 512M module?

    thanks in advance.

    Regards,
    irrani
