Setting up new raids with X16 drives, pulled from expansion usbs.
The drives were set at 512e, switched them to 4096 no problem
ERC/TLER was set at 10s - sctReadTimer, sctWriteTimer, changed to 7s.
Most of the power related functions are disabled by default.
--lowCurrentSpinup
--puisFeature
--EPCfeature
There is not a clear explanation to what these do:
--powerBalanceFeature
"Seagate's PowerBalance feature will adjust drive performance during random operations to reduce power consumption of the drive."
--sataDIPMfeature
"SATA Device Initiated Power Management (DIPM) feature"
--sataDAPSfeature
"SATA Device Automatic Partial To Slumber Transitions (DAPS) feature"
Seagate support referred me to a white paper which still did not explain what these did.
Any experience enabling these?
Curios if these defaults are the same on a X16 that was not pulled from a usb case.
Usage is film post production - long periods of sequential read/writes, and then periods of no activity.
Priority is stability, performance, power savings - in that order.
Ideal to save power, but not if the drives will start dropping out of the raid.
Thank you
