AutoMAID
AutoMAID™ Energy Saving Technology
Nexsan's evolutionary AutoMAID (Automatic Massive Array
of Idle Disks) energy saving technology transparently
places disk drives into an idle state to vastly reduce
power and cooling costs. AutoMAID delivers the cost-effecdtive
benefits of MAID 2.0 without the limitations of slow
access times and special host software.
AutoMAID is granular to an individual drive or RAID
set and offers multiple levels of energy savings. AutoMAID
is user selectable enabling users to determine the right
level of response time performance to energy savings.
AutoMAID is the first MAID 2.0 architecture that supports
VTL, full file format D2D and standard high performance
RAID implementations.
Key Points
AutoMAID reduces power and cooling costs
Nexsan’s AutoMAID delivers the benefits of MAID
without the limitations
Available on Nexsan Assureon, SATABoy, SATABeast, and
SATABeast Xi
AutoMAID Defined
AutoMAID automatically reduces power consumption and
heat generation on idle drives
Trade-off between response times and power savings are
user configurable
AutoMAID behavior happens automatically and transparently
to host – no software changes required
Typical configuration settings:
Level 1: Heads Unloaded
15% to 20% savings
Sub-second recovery time
Level 2: Heads Unloaded, slows to 4000 RPM
35% to 45% savings
15 second recovery time
Level 3: Stops spinning (sleep mode; powered on)
60% to 70% savings
30 to 45 second recovery time
AutoMAID Safety Features
In maximum power saving mode, drive spin up is sequenced
to reduce power surges
Drives automatically wake up for periodic surface scan
to ensure data integrity (user configurable)
AutoMAID has no impact on performance if left on in
data-intensive server app
