Nytro MegaRAID Software Functionality

The Nytro MegaRAID firmware uses Nytro Flash modules as the user data cache with the use of LSI Nytro MegaRAID software. The Nytro cache drives are expected to behave like SATA or SAS HDDs, except for the following reasons:

*

High random read speed (because there is no read-write head to move).

*

High performance-to-power ratio, as these drives have very low power consumption compared to HDDs.

*

Low latency.

*

High mechanical reliability.

*

Lower weight and size.

*

DDR Protection.

*NOTE  SATA Nytro cache drives support only ATA-8 ACS compliant drives.
