Setting the Disk Access option

Configure->LocalConfig->DiskAccess

The Disk Access option in the Local Configuration section can have one of two values, Faster or  Safer. This option will NOT take effect until you re-boot the Server.

Note : If the Server is powered down without being correctly shut down, when it is next powered up it will automatically run an integrity check on all the disks (in the same way as Windows automatically runs SCANDISK). This will make the Server take longer to start up, but will ensure as much data is recovered as possible. This check will even be done if you have this option set to Safer, but in that case the Server will normally asses that no repairs are necessary.

If you have a Soft-Off button on the front of your Server, using this button to switch the Server off will ensure that it is always shut down correctly. Having shut down, it should also automatically switch itself off, depending on exactly what hardware you have.

These options do not affect the speed at which data is retrieved from the disk.
