Good Drive
By default, a target drive is configured with zero latency and no errors. Features such as Definable Mode Pages, Editable Inquiry String, Definable WWPN and WWNN allow the target drive to look like any type of drive you want.

Bad Drive
Extensive error injection capabilities allow for the creation of varying and repeatable error conditions and predefined bad drive behaviors.

Fast Drive
100,000 iop ’s per port, Over 250,000 iop's across 4 ports. Full speed reads and writes at 4G Fibre Channel

Slow Drive
Latency can be set from Zero to many minutes, allowing systems under test to see how they respond to very slow drives.

Big Drive
Drives can be set to be as large as 2 TBytes

Small Drive
Drives can be configured to be as small as 4 M

1 Drive
Each of the configurations can be set for a single drive

1000 Drives
