Does this AOC-USAS2LP-H8iR have a copy back mode?
For example: If in 8 drives drive 5 dies in a Raid. The Hot spare (drive 8) would take over but once the drive 5 is replaced the hot spare will go back to being a spare and the new drive takes its place as the drive 5.
Yes, the newer generations of LSI RAID controllers, like AOC-USAS2LP-H8iR, support the copy back mode.
