Setting the StorSave Profile for a Unit

You can set the desired level of data protection versus performance for a unit
by selecting the StorSave Profile. Three profiles are provided: Protection
(maximum data protection), Performance (maximum performance, less data
protection), and Balanced (a middle ground). The default is Protection.

Note:

Not all drives support command queuing. If a drive does not support

command queuing, the policy setting for the controller is ignored. Queuing
information for SAS is not available.
