|

<div class="Body"><span class="UI-Element"><a name="1593423">Low Latency</a></span> mode minimizes the latency (delay) in reading data from the RAID unit by slowing down the background task process.

This improves performance. However, in the event of a power failure, the data in the controller's write cache will be lost if you do not have a battery backup unit (BBU) or an uninterruptable power supply (UPS). </div>

|
||
<div class="Body"><a name="1593468">Intelligent read caching includes a typical read-ahead caching method which </a>is used to proactively retrieve data from media and store it locally on the controller with the anticipation that it may be requested by the host, and also includes the Intelligent Read Prefetch (IRP) feature, which can improve performance at higher queue depth in multiple read only or mixed read/write stream environments.
