Putting the Pieces Together

Advanced 3ware RAID Features and Performance Architecture
StorSwitch
maximizes controller throughput — StorSwitch is a unique non-blocking switch
™
fabric architecture that allows 3ware controllers to concurrently communicate to all attached SATA
drives through a pool of 32 direct memory access (DMA) channels for unparalleled performance
and data availability. The result is superior overall system performance compared to non-scalable
hub-based systems that share the bandwidth of a single DMA channel.
StorSave optimizes data protection and performance — StorSaves's revolutionary combination
of powerful reliability enhancements and a battery backup unit (BBU) maximize data protection
and system reliability without sacrificing controller performance. StorSave permits 3ware controllers
to use both controller cache and disk cache during SATA RAID operations. This strengthens array
performance during optimal usage, as well as during degraded RAID 5 operations which means
faster rebuild times. StorSave Profiles allow user-specified levels of protection vs. performance
(9650SE, 9590SE and 9550SXU only).
StreamFusion maximizes application performance under multiple loads — An intelligent
cache algorithm dynamically optimizes RAID 5 and RAID 6 disk accesses and efficiently manages
data through controller cache for guaranteed bandwidth. As the number of data streams increases,
the total bandwidth is divided equally among them. Application performance will not suffer
during heavy traffic or when multiple applications are accessing data simultaneously. 3ware RAID
controllers are not the performance bottleneck, as is often the case with software RAID and
other hardware RAID controllers.
