The 1000 GB Fusion RAID Drive Module from Sonnet is a hot-swappable spare hard drive for the Fusion array systems. It can be used to as a spare drive in the event of a drive failure. System administrators should always have at least one spare drive on hand to minimize downtime in the event of a drive failure.
Key Features
Spare Drive
Having a spare drive available reduces downtime in the event of an individual drive failure in your RAID. Simply remove the bad drive, insert the new one and let your array automatically rebuild your data.
Hot Swappable
The drive is hot swappable, allowing you to replace a bad drive without having to power down your Fusion system. This eliminates the downtime that is often associated with hardware upgrades or replacement, making your job as a system administrator easier.
Enterprise-Class Hard Disk
Sonnet uses only Enterprise/RAID edition hard drives. These drives undergo stringent testing for durability. The disks are tested for soft errors, vibration, and reliability prediction. They have a higher MTBF than standard disks for enhanced reliability.
