Native Command
Queuing
Native Command Queuing (NCQ) is a technology designed to increase performance of SATA hard disk
drives by allowing the individual hard disk to internally optimize the order in which received read and
write commands are executed. This can reduce the amount of unnecessary going back
the drive's heads, resulting in in
read/write requests are outstanding, most often occurring in server or storage
Without NCQ the drive has to process and complete one command at a time. For NCQ to be enabled,
must be supported and turned on in the controller and in the hard drive itself.
NOTE:

Fault Recovery
Minimizes downtime, reconstructs data, and facilitates a quick recovery from drive failure
Ease of Use
Consistency and upgradeability on most current shipping Smart Array products make them unique in
• S.M.A.R.T.: Self Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology first developed at HPE detects
possible hard disk failure before it occurs, allowing replacement of the hard drive before a real
failure occurs.
• Drive Parameter Tracking monitors drive operational parameters, predicting failure and
notifying the administrator.
• Dynamic Sector Repairing continually performs background surface scans on the hard disk
drives during inactive periods and automatically remaps bad sectors, ensuring data integrity.
• Smart Array Cache Tracking monitors integrity of controller cache, allowing pre-failure
preventative maintenance.
• RAID 6 (Advanced Data Guarding): Supported with a minimum of 4 drives. This allocates two
sets of parity data across drives. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a double drive
failure without downtime or data loss.
• RAID 60: Supported with a minimum of 8 drives. This volume is composed of two or more
RAID 6 sub-volumes (parity groups) where data is striped across each parity group as if it
were a single physical drive. Each RAID 6 parity group can sustain up to two drive failures
without incurring data loss.
• RAID 5 (Distributed Data Guarding): Supported with a minimum of 3 drives. This allocates one
set of parity data across drives. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a single drive failure
without downtime or data loss.
• RAID 50: Supported with a minimum of 6 drives. This volume is composed of two or more
RAID 5 sub-volumes (parity groups) where data is striped across each parity group as if it
incurring data loss.
• RAID 1 & 10
drive array to the data and the other half to the mirrored data, providing two copies of the
data.
• RAID 1 ADM & 10 ADM (Advanced Data Mirroring): Supported with a minimum of 3 drives.
RAID 1 ADM creates redundant copies of the data using 3 drives. RAID 10 ADM stripes data
across two or more sets of RAID 1 ADM volumes. This level of fault tolerance can withstand a
double drive failure within a RAID 1 ADM volume without downtime or data loss.
• Recovery ROM: This feature protects the user from a firmware image corruption by storing a
redundant copy of the firmware image. If the active firmware image becomes corrupt, the
controller will use the redundant firmware image and continue operating.
• On-Line Spares: There is no limit to the number of spare drives that can be installed prior to
drive failure. If a failure occurs, recovery begins with an On-Line Spare and data is
reconstructed automatically.
• DRAM ECC detects and corrects data bit errors.
• Battery-backed write cache upgrade provides for up to two days of battery power for data
cache retention. The data backup duration could be extended anytime the server's auxiliary
power is available during system power down.
