Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between RAID 5 and RAID 6 on the IronLink R218?
RAID 5 provides single-drive fault tolerance and delivers 71TB of usable storage from the 108TB raw capacity. RAID 6 offers dual-drive fault tolerance with 62TB usable storage, providing enhanced data protection for critical environments where simultaneous drive failures are a concern.
What throughput can I expect from this enterprise storage system?
The IronLink R218 delivers sustained throughput of 810MB/s, enabling rapid data transfers for backup, restore, and file serving operations. This performance level supports multiple concurrent users and applications without bottlenecking.
Is the IronLink R218 suitable for 24/7 continuous operation?
Yes, the R218 is built with enterprise-grade SAS drives and dual Xeon processors specifically designed for continuous operation in data center environments. The redundant processor architecture and RAID capabilities ensure reliability for mission-critical applications.
How much usable storage does the IronLink R218 provide?
Usable storage depends on your RAID configuration: RAID 5 provides 71TB of writeable storage with single-drive redundancy, while RAID 6 provides 62TB with dual-drive redundancy for maximum data protection.
