Advanced RAID Features
The Adaptec SAS HostRAID controller supports the following
advanced features:
●
SAS/SATA Disk Hot Plug—Allows you to add and remove disks
without shutting down your system.
Hotspares
The Adaptec SAS HostRAID controller supports hotspares—drives that
are reserved to replace a failing drive in a redundant array. If a drive
fails, the hotspare will replace it and the array is automatically rebuilt.
The Adaptec SAS HostRAID controller supports global hotspares,
which protects every fault tolerant array that the drive has enough
available capacity to protect.
