Hard Drives
46. Introduction
•What is RAID?
•Why do I need RAID?
Create a single large volume
Gain more system performance *
Gain redundancy *
RAID is to group multiple hard drives which you install in the
system, and gain a pool of storage resources
* Depends on RAID mode
RAID
47. RAID 1 (Mirroring)
• Disk Mirroring: Duplicate the data between two hard disks
• Use 2 hard disks
• System capacity = ½ of Raw Capacity
• Redundancy: Allow 1 hard disk failure
RAID
48. RAID 5
• Minimum use 3 disks to compose a RAID 5
• System capacity = Raw capacity – 1 x HDD’s capacity, (N-1) x ___ TB
• Redundancy: Allow 1 hard disk failure at the same time
Example: 4 x 4TB used for a RAID 5
Total system capacity = 12TB / 4TBx (4-1) = 12TB
You invest 1 HDD’s capacity. It allows 1 HDD failure at the same time
RAID
49. RAID 6
• Minimum use 4 disks to compose a RAID 6
• System capacity = Raw capacity – 1 x HDD’s capacity, (N-2) x ___ TB
• Redundancy: Allow 2 hard disk failure at the same time
Example: 6 x 4TB used for a RAID 6
Total system capacity = 16TB / 4TBx (6-2) = 16TB
You invest 2 HDD’s capacity. It allows 2 HDD failure at the same time
RAID
50. Hot-Spare Drive
• Specify a hard disk as the “stand by” one. In case of any hard disk
failure in the RAID group, the hot spare drive will automatically join
and replace the failure disk
One extra spare drive investment is required
RAID
51. RAID Hot Spare / Global Hot Spare
• Hot Spare drives for the Local RAID groups and Global enclosure
• The Global Hot Spare drive can be used by any RAID groups in the same enclosure
• Dedicated enclosure hot spare drives can be configured for the NAS and each RAID
expansion enclosure

ADI Baltimore Seminar # 3817April 24th, 2014Welcome to ADI University. Today’s course will give you an overview on the importance of storage and what role they play In your next system designPlease click “next” to continue.
Here are the topics that will be covered:Let’s take a closer look!
Why Storage is Important? ADI sells on average 500 cameras a day, and more customers are moving to IP Megapixel camera, it will have direct impact on storage requirement.
in this case , As customer move from VGA analog camera to 1080P IP camera, storage requirement can increase significantly, up to 6 times more storage is required based on the same scenario, so how is the customer going to deal with storage aspect the new increase in file size?
If the customer is relying on camera’s internal SD card, it only holds 4 days of storage! By attaching a network storage , the overall retention period can be extended up to 7 months.For a 12 channel project with PC based DVR, by deploying a network storage, video retention period can be extended from 1 week up to 2 months while staying in reasonable budget.As more and more customer switch to IP cameras, they will also need a solution to storage for the larger file size of the megapixel video.
There is no script needed for the chapter slide.
By attaching a storage unit to the same network switch with the camera, a “Network Attached Storage” is a perfect solutionNAS is simply computer storage that is connected to the network, also known as the internet. Data files are managed on a local device but can be shared with many others as long as they have access to the internet, including IP cameras, smart phones, smart TV, etc.
The total size of NAS can be determined by the “number of drives” multiply by “size of the drive”,For more advanced customer who want additional protection, hard drive mirroring or redundancy can be applied, at least one disks space will be used as redundant drivePlease see example 1 disk is used as redundant drive for added data protection

Lets go through 3 popular application to use a NAS , the 1st will be to use as surveillance storage with IP cameraTraditional NVR and Video Management System only have limited onboard storage and lacks data redundancy, NAS can provide a much more cost effective way to increase overall video capacity, where customer already has a 3rd party Video Management System (or NVR), In the VMS/NVR software menu, select NAS IP address as where video will be stored, to increase total system recording capacity.

Video Management System are usually sold separately and license has to be purchased. camera such as Axis Camera Companion eliminates the cost of that license with the built in VMS. The installation is as easy as plugging in the cameras and following the onscreen prompts to advance through the set up. The system will locate & configure NAS storage automatically, the user simply clicks Next, then Next, until Finished. SUPER EASY & COST EFFECTIVE!

Owning a NAS from leading manufacturer allows every business & residential customer to build up a “private cloud” by individual capacity requirement & usage scenariosFor project large and small, Anywhere form 2 to 200 terabytes, just like your smart phone, numerous software services can be tailored for different use from business, enterprise, to home multimedia, the usage are endless just like a powerful computer

Data files are managed on a local device but can be shared with many others as long as they have access to the internet, including IP cameras, smart phones, smart TV, etc.
Consider how important it is to have a reliable hard drive. If it fails, what will be lost? Compare to cheaper manufacturers who bundles with desktop grade hard drives, Leading manufacturers install with NAS & enterprise level hard drives and a choice for how robust it needs to be. Have a choice of the grade quality from home use enterprise.Consider all the factors covered in today’s presentation, a good NAS will provide dealers more services to offer to customer and create a win-win business model for today’s digitized world.Every project should attach a NAS !

files from PC and Mac can be backed up to NAS for added protection Apple users can use “Time Machine”, which is included in every Mac computer, and select NAS as the destination to automatically backup all critical files
The NAS will not only allow data to be backed up to it, but it can also be set up to back up data from it. Either to a USB external drive for a physical copy of the most critical files, or one can backup to a cloud service such as Amazon which is robust & widely available

Is there a benefit to having a center for data and entertainment with the ability to control by remote control? Control 4 certification gives the ability operate the NAS and everything connected to it the ability to be controlled by an advanced universal remote control that will navigate through the NAS, play music, manage the surveillance, open curtains, control lights in the home and office, and more!Control4 has a movie database system built in,Certified NAS such as QNAP can synchronize media library in real time to display cover-art, synopsis and other movie details. Movies can be listed by title, director, actor and genre. Customer can also utilize the HDMI on the NAS as a Xbox Media Center (XBMC) Player,

We’ve mentioned a few times now that NAS and Desktop drives are different so let’s talk more about why. First performance which can be looked at two different ways. The first is power on hours or the number of hours your drives are expected to run which affect how reliability is measured for each drive. Desktop drives are expected to run on a profile similar to a “traditional” workweek or about 8 hours a day five days a week. Based on that profile the drives are tested for reliability. In a NAS environment data may be accessed any time so these drives are designed to function with a much more robust power on profile of 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Like desktop drives, NAS drives are tested for reliability under these conditions as well. If someone were to choose to leverage a desktop drive in a NAS environment they’re placing it under a workload that it wasn’t designed for which could lead to what a user perceives to be early failure. By leveraging NAS HDD the longevity of the drive is more accommodating to a NAS environment. Next are streaming profiles. Desktop drives are built to support transfers of data within a system. There may be multiple streams of files that are being downloaded or used at the same time but desktop drives don’t account for things like video streaming. Because NAS systems can be found in home or business applications there’s a need to ensure that both file streaming and video streaming can be supported by the same drive. For that reason, support for ATA streaming has been added to the drive. This means that while watching a video file if a bit of data is missing (which it likely to be a pixel in one frame of the movie) the drive knows to skip over it. It’s not likely anyone would miss or even notice that one pixel while watching the movie and the overall experience is far less frustrating than waiting for the drive to pause the movie and go back to rebuild that data before it starts back up again. NAS HDD is also optimized for multiple streaming profiles which isn’t just good for movies but it means multiple users can access your box at the same time. NAS optimized Error Recovery Controls are important to ensure the health of a drive in a NAS system. In a traditional desktop drive if data needs to be recovered or rebuilt the drive will work on rebuilding that data for up to 20 seconds. In a RAID environment, drives can fall out of the RAID array if they don’t provide any data within about 7 seconds. If this occurs the RAID will start the time consuming process of rebuilding that drive. In our NAS HDD we have tuned our drive to quickly try to recover that data if it can be done within 7 seconds. If it cannot be done the drive will check back in with the NAS system to ensure a drive rebuild does not start. In some systems the drive will even ask the RAID to help rebuild data from one of its other copies knowing that accessing that data will take less time than rebuilding the data itself.Vibration tolerance is another feature that’s extremely important in multi-drive systems. A typical desktop system has just one rotating drive installed for storage. That drive may emit small amounts of vibration that will never become an issue in these systems. In multi-drive systems that drive vibration can become amplified and create enough vibration to cause issues within the NAS. In order to ensure vibration is not an issue in these 1-5 bay environments we’ve added dual plane balance to our NAS HDDs. Dual plane balance basically adds weight to the drive’s motor to dampen any vibrations the drive may emit. When put into multi-drive systems, the vibration effects are minimized and do not affect the performance of drives in the system.Because NAS systems can be installed for home or office use, acoustics are fine tuned as well. By doing this we can help ensure that if a NAS system is installed in a living room that last thing the user hears is the hum of a hard drive while streaming content. Desktop drives are built for just that – desktop applications. By leveraging our success with other always-on drives that support multi-drive applications like Seagate’s enterprise class products we were able to establish an ideal combination of reliability and performance for a NAS environment at a more affordable price point for home and small business NAS users.
