Setting Rebuild Options
Disable Hot Spare/Auto Rebuild turns off the use of a “hot” spare drive and automatic
rebuilding of a mirrored array. The default is unchecked (or enable Auto Rebuild).
Rebuild Rate assigns the amount of importance that is given to mirroring data from one
drive to another in the background. A “high” setting assigns most of the resources
to the rebuild process at the expense of responding to ongoing read/write data
requests by the operating system. A “low” setting gives priority to ongoing
read/write data requests by the operating system at the expense of the rebuild
process and will typically result in longer rebuild time. The setting shown above is
the default.
Setting Disk Param(eters) Option
Enable Write Cache allows you to enable/disable write cache for hard drives that
include this performance feature. FastCheck automatically recognizes such drives
and enables the feature as the default setting. For drives that do not use write
caching, this option is automatically grayed out.
Enable S.M.A.R.T. Check tells FastCheck to regularly monitor each drive to assure that
drive failure prediction is functioning. The default is unchecked, meaning
FastCheck will not monitor this function.
Setting Screen Preferences
This section controls how the FastCheck utility screen is displayed and sets the security
password to protect the administrative settings.
Start Minimized FastCheck will appear on the toolbar only on startup. Click on the icon
to see the FastCheck utility screen.
Always on Top FastCheck will appear above all programs until closed or minimized
manually.
Enable Password turns on/off the use of a Password every time the FastCheck
Monitoring Utility icon is selected or when the program is running from the Start
menu. Disabling the use of a current password requires password entry (see
Creating Password on next page).
