    Adaptec SAS RAID Confi guration and the Windows OS Installation Instructions Adaptec SAS RAID Confi guration and the Windows OS Installation Instructions After all the hardware has been installed, you must fi rst confi gure the SAS RAID before you install the Windows Operating System and other software drivers. 1 The Adaptec SAS RAID Controller Driver If you do not wish to confi gure Adaptec SAS RAID functions, please go directly to Section 2 for the Windows OS Installation instructions. Introduction to SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) In addition to SATA (Serial ATA) which is supported by the Intel ESB2 South Bridge, your motherboard has an Adaptec SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) 9410W Controller built in. SAS supports serial link data transfer rates up to 3Gbps. With the dynamic SAS infrastructure built in, your motherboard supports both SATA and SAS, providing the user with unparalleled data storage expansion and inter-con- nectivity capability. Using the Adaptec RAID Confi guration Utility The onboard SAS Controller is enabled by default. To disable it, please set the SAS Enable Jumper to Pins 2-3 (See the Jumper Section in Chapter 2 of your motherboard manual for details.) When the system is detecting the SAS Controller BIOS, make sure that the 16-digit Adapter WWN address displays. If this number is not shown, you will not be able to use the controller. *Once the WWN address appears, press the <Ctrl> and <A> keys simultaneously when prompted to access the Adaptec SAS RAID BIOS. (Note: Use the arrow keys to highlight an item and then press <Enter> to select an option.

  • General Nvme FAQ
    General NVMe FAQ 1. What is NVMe? NVMe, more formally NVM Express, is an interface specification optimized for PCI Express based solid state drives. The interface is defined in a scalable fashion such that it can support the needs of Enterprise and Client in a flexible way. 2. Is NVMe an industry standard? NVM Express has been developed by an industry consortium, the NVM Express Workgroup. Version 1.0 of the interface specification was released on March 1, 2011. Over 80 companies participated in the definition of the interface. 3. What is the legal framework of the NVM Express organization? The legal framework is structured as a Special Interest Group (SIG). To join a company executes a Contributor/Adopter agreement. There are 11 member companies who have board seats and provide overall governance. The Governing board is called the NVM Express Promoters Group. There are seven permanent seats and six seats filled by annual elections. Contributor companies are all free to participate in regularly scheduled workinG sessions that develop the interface. All Contributors have equal input into the development of the specification. 4. Who are the companies that form the NVM Express Promoters Group? The Promoters Group is composed of 13 companies, Cisco, Dell, EMC, IDT, Intel, Marvell, Micron, NetApp, Oracle, Samsung, SanDisk, SandForce (now LSI) and STEC. Two elected seats are currently unfilled. 5. Who are the permanent board members? Cisco, Dell, EMC, IDT, Intel, NetApp, and Oracle hold the seven permanent board seats. 6. How is the specification developed? Can anyone contribute? The specification is developed by the NVM Express Working Group.

  • Using Nandrive in ARM-Based Systems
    Tech Brief Using NANDrive™ in ARM®-based Systems The ARM® architecture is based on an extremely flexible and powerful processor core, making it an ideal choice to license for numerous companies manufacturing embedded processors. Processors from these companies feature heavily in embedded systems and although they have the same basic core, the peripherals and I/O will vary from manufacturer to manufacturer based on the end applications. A common theme, however, is the ARM bus architecture and the standard interfaces and peripherals that it supports. The popularity of the ARM core architecture means that there is a well established ecosystem of software and driver support making these processors an excellent choice for embedded systems. Memory Subsystem The adoption of a specific processor core may be application dependent, but the choices when considering the memory subsystem will largely depend upon the peripheral IP implemented by the processor vendor. CAN Bus Networking Applications that require an embedded operating system will benefit from a managed NAND subsystem and ARM-based processors offer excellent support LPDDR Wireless for this. One such example is the Embedded Multi Media Card (eMMC) protocol ARM support. In addition, using Greenliant NANDrive™ as the managed memory NOR Audio subsystem means there is no requirement to customize the memory interface. Platform The powerful, energy-efficient cores offered by ARM together with the proven Display USB peripheral IP make this technology well-suited for portable and embedded applications. NANDrive is the ideal choice for mass storage in these applications because it is surface mounted and has a small footprint. As a solid Touch Control state device, it is more robust mechanically than a traditional hard disk drive.

(“applicant”) seeks to register the mark NANDRIVE on the Principal Register, in standard character form, for “electronic integrated circuits,” in Class 9.1 Applicant claimed first use of its mark anywhere and first use of the mark in commerce at least as early as February 27, 2007. 1 Applicant is the successor to Silicon Storage Technology, Inc., the original applicant. The assignment of the mark and use-based application was recorded in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on June 2, 2010, at reel 4216, frame 0821. Serial No. 78724139 Applicant’s specimen of use comprising a photograph of the mark applied to the goods is displayed below. The Trademark Examining Attorney refused to register applicant’s mark under Section 2(e)(1) of the Trademark Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(1), on the ground that applicant’s mark is merely descriptive. According to the Examining Attorney, “applicant’s electronic integrated circuits are memory storage devices which utilize NAND flash memory technology or are flash memory drives. The applicant’s goods are NAND drives.”2 While maintaining the position that its mark is not merely descriptive, applicant requested that NANDRIVE be allowed to register on the Principal Register under Section 2(f) or, in the alternative, on the Supplemental Register.

  • For Immediate Release
    For Immediate Release Media Contact: Story Public Relations Michael Schoolnik [email protected] SandForce SSD Processors Transform Mainstream Data Storage Breakthrough DuraClass Technology Sets New Standards for SSD Reliability, Performance and Energy Efficiency SARATOGA, CA. – April 13, 2009 – SandForce™ Inc., the pioneer of SSD (Solid State Drive) Processors that enable commodity NAND flash deployment in enterprise and mobile computing applications, today emerged from stealth mode and unveiled its first product, the SF‐1000 SSD Processor family. These highly‐integrated silicon devices address the inherent endurance, reliability, and data retention issues associated with NAND flash memory, making it possible to build SSDs that deliver unprecedented performance over the life of the drive with orders‐of‐magnitude higher reliability than enterprise‐class HDDs (Hard Disk Drives). The SandForce patent‐pending DuraClass™ technology promises to accelerate mass‐market SSD adoption. Leading OEMs are expected to release both SLC (single level cell) and MLC (multi‐level cell) flash‐based SSDs using SandForce single‐chip SSD Processors later this year. IDC expects worldwide shipments of SSD's in the Enterprise and PC markets will exceed 40 million units in 2012, representing a CAGR of 171% from 2007‐20121. “The SF‐1000 SSD Processor Family promises to address key NAND flash issues allowing MLC flash technologies to be reliably used in broad based, mission critical storage environments,” said Mike Desens, Vice President for System Design, IBM.
