7.4.2 Enabling SSD I/O Bypass

Use this option to enable I/O Bypass acceleration for logical drives comprised of SSDs only. This option enables I/O requests to bypass the controller firmware and access SSDs directly. This process accelerates reads for all RAID levels and writes for RAID 0.

To enable I/O Bypass acceleration:

  1. In the Enterprise View, select a controller, then select an array on the controller.
  2. On the ribbon, in the Array group, click Set Properties.

    The Set Properties window opens; the General tab is selected, by default.

  3. From the SSD I/O Bypass drop-down, select Enabled or Disabled.
  4. Click OK.
