MS-9152 ATX Server Board C cache Fast-access memory on the controller that serves as intermediate storage for data that is read from, or written to, drives. capacity Total usable space available in megabytes or gigabytes. channel Any path, or bus, used for the transfer of data and the control of information between storage devices and a RAID controller. For Serial ATA channels, each channel has a single drive capacity. chunk See stripe. clear Foreground initialization of a fault-tolerant array. A clear operation zeros all blocks of the array. The array is not accessible until the clear task is complete. concatenation Joining of physical or logical drives in sequential order. consistency check command Command that reads all the blocks of a RAID 1 to determine if the blocks are consistent. Any inconsistent blocks are fixed. D dead partition See failed. dedicated hot spare Component that can take the place of a failed component only on the fault-tolerant array to which it is explicitly assigned. degraded A redundant (for example, a RAID 1) array in which one or more members have failed. The data is intact but redundancy has been compromised. Any further failure would cause the array to fail and result in data loss. disk Physical disk drive. Randomly accessible, re-writable data storage device. Also called hard disk. disk ID Unique disk identifier that consists of the channel number, SATA ID. For example, (channel:ID:LUN) 1:04:0. See also channel. B-24
