Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between RAID 5 and RAID 6 on this storage system?
RAID 5 provides single-drive fault tolerance with 297TB usable capacity, while RAID 6 offers dual-drive fault tolerance with 282TB usable capacity. RAID 6 is recommended for larger storage systems where rebuild times are longer and the risk of multiple drive failures is higher.
How much usable storage does the IronLink R226 provide?
The IronLink R226 Dual 4216 delivers 297TB of usable storage with RAID 5 configuration or 282TB with RAID 6. The difference accounts for parity overhead required for data protection and redundancy.
What throughput performance can I expect from this enterprise storage?
This system provides 1.6GB/s sustained data transfer rate, enabling fast backup operations, rapid file transfers, and efficient handling of bandwidth-intensive applications across your network.
Is this storage system suitable for backup and archival?
Yes, the 420TB capacity combined with enterprise-grade SAS drives and dual-processor architecture makes this SAS storage system ideal for comprehensive backup solutions, long-term archival, and large-scale data repositories requiring high reliability and performance.
