Can someone explain to me exactly how this works, please. I see it all the time on servers, but I never quite figured it out. Is it a feature of the case and you have a connector on the case that connects to the motherboard and the motherboard has no idea there are multiple disks? What kind of connector, if so? Is it a feature of the motherboard and you connect each hot swap bay on the case to a separate motherboard connector? Am I completely wrong for both and it's something else entirely? Do you need special drives? Thanks for any information.
it started on SCSI (usually HDD) and it is a fetcher on the SCSI interface, but, hot swap is also a fetcher on the SATAIII interface also SATAIII is very fast (6Gbit/s) and transfers data at a sustained rate (constant not burst rate) hope this clear things up, anything else ? Edit: no, it is a feature of device / interface connected to a system yes
I'm still a little confused. Let's say I want to create a RAID system where I can hot swap a drive that failed. (Obviously, this isn't raid 0) So, I would purchase a case with hot swap bays in it, right? Then what? This is embarrassing, but I work in IT (networking, specifically) and never really thought about it.
Source BTW: i wasn't correct before, i should research stuff before i post that would be one way to do it, but, a system doesn't always need to be in a case e.g. fault diagnostics then the devices & interface cable, does that help ? i could learn a lot from you, because i'm a disabled[ot]car accident years ago, used to it now[/ot]home user & i don't have the finances to purchase network hardware, i only have 1 system et lip out: LOL
I think I understand now. The case simply gives you a point to connect a cable between the mounting for the removable drive and the raid controller, whether the controller is on your board, a card or whatever. Thanks If you have a question about network, I'd be happy to give what help I can.
why couldn't i just say that, dunno np, BTW: i can talk some crap thankies, generally i post specific question when i have them, hoping one day to have my home stuff integrated with net, but, i've still a lot to learn one thing i am struggling with is DDNS BTW: i'm also using linux
