7.1 Failed Drive Detection
7.1.1 Periodic Drive Check Time
The “Periodic Drive Check Time” is the time interval for the
controller to check all disk drives that were on the drive bus at
controller startup (a list of all the drives that were detected can be
seen under “View and Edit Drives”).
The default value is “1 second.” If set to “Disabled,” it means that if
a drive is removed from the bus, the subsystem will not be able to
know – so long as no host accesses that drive. Changing the check
time to any other value allows the controller to check – at the
selected time interval – all of the drives that are listed under “View
and Edit Drives.” If any drive is then removed, the controller will
be able to know – even if no host accesses that drive.
