410		Which fibre switches does Sonnet recommend for the R1600FIBRE?	Sep-29-09
445		What is the default drive timeout in Fusion RAID systems? Should I change it?	Mar-24-10
	The default drive timeout Fusion RAID systems is 30 seconds. The default is generally the best, but may be insufficient for some Seagate drives, which in rare instances may not respond within a 30 second timeout and consequently appear as degraded. If you are using Seagate drives, Sonnet recommends setting the timeout to 60 seconds, with the CLI command, "set raidcommandtimeout 60000".
