MegaRAID Fast Path is a high-performance IO accelerator for CacheCade software drive groups connected to a MegaRAID controller card. SSDs have a read performance advantage over HDDs and use less power. This feature dramatically boosts storage subsystem bandwidth and overall transactional application performance when used with a 6Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS controller. For more information on how to use Fast Path advanced software, see the section Setting Fast Path Options.
The Fast Path feature supports full optimization of CacheCade - SSD Caching and hard disk drive (HDD) virtual disk groups to deliver an improvement in read and write IOPS that is three times greater than MegaRAID controllers not utilizing Fast Path technology. Also, the advanced software is faster and more cost-effective than current flash-based adapter card solutions.
