Installation and Setup
The Adaptec AFM-700 2GB Battery Backed Write Cache (BBWC) is a high-performance caching solution that can improve the performance of your RAID array. The installation and setup process for the AFM-700CC involves the following steps:
- Verify that your system meets the necessary requirements for the AFM-700CC. This includes a supported RAID controller, an available expansion slot, and a compatible power supply.
- Install the AFM-700CC into an available expansion slot in your system. The card should be securely seated and the connection cables should be properly connected.
- Power on your system and enter the RAID controller's BIOS. You should now see the AFM-700CC listed as a device.
- Configure the AFM-700CC by allocating the cache size, configuring the battery backup, and setting the write-back policy.
- Initialize the AFM-700CC by formatting the cache memory. This will erase any previous data on the cache.
- Monitor the performance of your RAID array to ensure that the AFM-700CC is providing the desired level of performance.
It is important to note that the AFM-700CC requires a battery to function properly. The battery must be connected to the controller and must be replaced if it fails. Also, it is always recommended to read the product documentation and follow the manufacturer's instructions for installing and setting up the AFM-700CC.
Battery Backup and Protection
The Adaptec AFM-700 2GB Battery Backed Write Cache (AFM-700CC) has a built-in battery backup and protection system to ensure data integrity and preservation in the event of a power outage or system failure. The battery backup system keeps the cache memory powered for a period of time, allowing the controller to complete any outstanding write operations and flush the cache to the hard drive before shutting down. This prevents data loss and ensures that all data is properly stored on the hard drive.
The battery backup system is also equipped with a battery monitoring feature that alerts the user when the battery is running low or needs to be replaced. This ensures that the battery backup system is always functioning properly and provides an extra level of protection for the data stored on the hard drive.
In addition to the battery backup system, the AFM-700CC also has a feature called Adaptec Advanced Data Protection (ADP), which provides an additional level of protection for data in the event of a drive failure. ADP uses RAID technology to create a mirrored copy of the data on a second drive, allowing for fast data recovery in case of a drive failure.
Comparison with similar products

Compared to these similar products, the Adaptec AFM-700CC has a few key differences. It has 2GB of cache, which is more than LSI Logic SAS9271-8i, and Dell PERC H730P, but less than HPE Smart Array P408i-a. Additionally, it is designed for use with a wide range of systems, whereas the Dell and HPE controllers are specifically designed for use with Dell PowerEdge servers and HPE ProLiant Gen9 servers respectively.
Ultimately, the choice between the Adaptec AFM-700CC and similar products will depend on the specific requirements of the system and the features that are most important to the user.

Cache upgrade
Cache memory is a miniature version of the RAM, and it is faster than the RAM. It contributes to the overall performance of the Central Processing Unit. Cache memory is responsible for temporarily storing the information and programs that are commonly used by the CPU. There are three types of cache memory L1 (fastest, smallest, and closest to the processor), L2 (situated on the processor chip, high capacity but slower than L1), and L3 (largest capacity and placed on the computer that uses L2 cache). Click cache upgrade to see the available options on allhdd.com.
Battery backup unit
The battery backup unit is essential for the Raid controller; it helps the raid card to remember what hasn't been committed to the disc. The battery backup unit can provide power up to 72 hours without power; this will preserve data. If your system cache options are set to write through or write off, there won't be a need for a battery backup unit, but this makes raid performance sub-optimal. The battery backup unit is made of two major parts, the electronics (used for controlling and communicating with RAID controllers) and a rechargeable battery.
Over time, the battery capacity loses some capacity; generally, the battery has a useful period of about five years. However, this is dependent on several factors.
