What is the difference between burst and sustained data transfer rates?
Burst represents the theoretical maximum data transfer rate. It does not take into account other bus activity or CPU processes that may have significant effects on performance. Sustained data transfer rate is the more important numbers as it shows you the real throughput of the system What do I do if a drive fails If you are in RAID3 mode you can keep on working but should plan to service the ForixMediaVault at your earliest convienence as it is now running in an un protected state. When do I need a dual channel system If you want to increase your data throughput a dual channel system will run 2 x as fast. Note that other factors such as CPU speed, internal bus architecture and other process running on that machine can have considerable effect on performance How long are the system drives under warranty 1 Years factory replacement. How do I know if my system is working correctly The front indicator lamps will flash showing the drive activity I have heard that IDE drives are failure pro
