1.1 INTRODUCTION 
 
DAS401 enhances your data storage by combining advanced RAID
1   
features typically seen on 
 
high-end data systems with low cost/high capacity Serial ATA drives. By using industry standard SATA drives and 
 
Silicon Image Host Bus Adapters, you can achieve extraordinarily low costs while remaining assured that your 
data is protected against hardware failure.

1.3 FEATURES 
 
1.3.1   DATA SECURITY 
 
The DAS401 software driver includes support for monitoring to predict suspect drives. 
 
DAS401 provides our highest commitment to data security through the use of RAID architecture to back up and 
protect data. RAID levels 1, 10, and 5 provide data security. DAS401 supports sophisticated sparing support so that 
hardware failure risk can be minimized by automatically regenerating the 
failed disk’s data on a backup disk. The DAS401 software driver includes support for Self- Monitoring 
Analysis and Reporting Technology (S.M.A.R.T.
2 
) to predict disk failures. Drives can be moved between 
controllers without losing data.
