The new Storage Manager version 10.86 and Controller FirmWare level (CFW) version 7.86 are now available, bringing a host of new features and capabilities to your storage solution. New HDD Functionality: T10 Protection Information (T10 PI) One of the most exciting new features included in the latest updates is the addition of T10 Protection Information (T10 PI) to the DS3500 drives. This advanced technology provides an extra layer of data protection, ensuring the integrity and security of your data. T10 PI Capable Drives The new DS3500 drives are T10 PI capable, meaning they are equipped with the necessary hardware and firmware to support this feature. This ensures that your data is protected at all times, giving you peace of mind and confidence in your storage solution. Enable T10 PI on Existing DS3500 Drives Even if you have previously purchased DS3500 drives without T10 PI capability, the new Storage Manager and CFW updates enable this feature on those drives as well. This means you can take advantage of the added protection without having to replace your existing drives.
