• Reliability for non-mission critical entry server environments, appropriate for <40% workload
• Native Command Queuing (NCQ) to increase performance of SATA hard disks by optimizing the order in which received read and write commands are executed
• Buffer Error Detection is used to protect the data in the drive buffer via parity or ECC
• Time Limited Error Recovery (TLER) purposely constrains the drive to report the error as soon as possible within 5 seconds versus unlimited retries
• Microcode Download provides ability to flash new firmware to the drive
