R1-elastic cache (R1-EC), a new RAID protection from LSI for the Nytro Flash modules.The R1-elastic cache feature of Nytro MegaRAID accelerates the I/O throughput and enhances the endurance of the Nytro Cache drive. R1-elastic cache is another protection level along with RAID 1 and RAID 0. In elastic cache, host-writes are mirrored and host-reads are not mirrored.
Figure 1. R1-Elastic Cache (EC) Block
The size of R1-elastic cache (EC) would be larger than RAID 1 Nytro Cache drive and lesser than RAID 0 Nytro Cache drive. This is achieved by mirroring only the host-written data. Because of this, the usable capacity of the Nytro Cache drive depends on the I/O from the host.
