- Four Ports: The D126J Dell 4 Port Storage Controller provides four ports for connection to multiple storage devices. This allows for more efficient storage management and reduces the need for additional storage controllers.
- Dual-controller support: The controller supports dual-controller configurations, providing redundancy and high availability for mission-critical applications.
- SAS compatibility: The controller is compatible with SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) storage devices, providing fast and reliable data transfer speeds.
- RAID support: The controller supports multiple RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and 50, providing protection against data loss due to disk failures.
- Management software: The controller comes with Dell's OpenManage Storage Manager software, which provides a comprehensive, easy-to-use interface for storage management and monitoring.
- Scalability: The controller can be upgraded to support additional storage devices, allowing for growth and scalability as storage requirements change.
- Energy-efficient design: The controller is designed to be energy-efficient, reducing power consumption and reducing energy costs.
- High performance: The controller provides high-speed data transfer rates, allowing for fast and efficient storage and retrieval of large amounts of data.
- Compatibility: The controller is compatible with a range of Dell PowerVault MD3200i storage arrays, making it easy to integrate into existing storage environments.
- Reliable operation: The controller is designed to operate reliably in high-demand data center environments, providing a robust and dependable storage solution for mission-critical applications.
The D126J Dell 4 Port Storage Controller for PowerVault MD3200i supports various RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) configurations to provide data protection and performance optimization for the storage array. The following are some of the common RAID configurations supported by the D126J controller:
- RAID 0: This is a basic striping configuration that provides performance optimization but no data protection. In RAID 0, data is split into multiple stripes and written across multiple disks, improving the overall read/write performance.
- RAID 1: This is a mirroring configuration that provides data protection by writing data to two or more disks. In the event of disk failure, the data is still available on the other disk.
- RAID 5: This is a data protection configuration that uses striping with parity data. In the event of disk failure, the data can be reconstructed from the remaining disks and the parity data.
- RAID 6: This is a data protection configuration similar to RAID 5, but with an additional disk for redundancy. In the event of two disk failures, the data can still be reconstructed from the remaining disks and the parity data.
- RAID 10: This is a combination of RAID 1 and RAID 0, providing both performance optimization and data protection. Data is mirrored and striped across multiple disks.
The D126J controller supports RAID configuration and management through the PowerVault Modular Disk Storage Manager (MD Storage Manager) software. The software provides a graphical user interface for configuring and managing the RAID arrays, including monitoring disk health and performance, setting up hot spare disks, and managing disk rebuilds.
Scalability and Performance Optimization- Scalable Storage: The D126J controller supports scalable storage solutions, allowing users to add additional storage capacity as needed. This provides a flexible and cost-effective solution for businesses looking to expand their storage infrastructure.
- Load Balancing: The controller features load balancing capabilities to optimize performance and ensure that data is distributed evenly across the available storage resources. This helps to prevent bottlenecks and improve overall system performance.
- Multipath I/O: The D126J supports Multipath I/O, which provides multiple paths for data to travel between the controller and the storage devices. This helps to increase reliability and ensure that data is transmitted even if one of the paths is unavailable.
- Cache Optimization: The controller features cache optimization capabilities that help to improve performance by storing frequently accessed data in memory for faster access. This helps to reduce latency and improve overall system response times.
- Data Compression: The D126J supports data compression, which reduces the amount of storage space required for data by compressing it before writing to disk. This helps to reduce storage costs and improve overall system performance.
- Data Deduplication: The controller includes data deduplication capabilities, which help to eliminate redundant data and reduce storage requirements. This helps to improve storage efficiency and reduce costs.
- Storage Pooling: The D126J supports storage pooling, which allows multiple storage devices to be grouped together and treated as a single, larger pool of storage. This helps to improve storage utilization and simplify administration.
- Performance Monitoring and Reporting: The controller provides real-time performance monitoring and reporting capabilities, allowing administrators to monitor system performance and identify any performance bottlenecks. This helps to optimize system performance and improve overall efficiency.

What is not covered by our warranty?
The reason why our warranty does not cover any problem caused by the following conditions:
(a) misuse of hardware; accidental damage; carelessness product(s) damage; shock; temperature beyond the specification of any product; faulty installation; operation; modification of goods;
(b) any misuse outside the instructions in the user manual for any specific product;
(c) damaged caused by other hardware or equipment. The warranty will void if the item is returned with physical damage, damage to the retail box, removed from the box, counterfeit labels/labelled by them, or any modifications of internal and external covers. Data loss or damages to any other equipment we do not cover by our offered warranty.
What is the Manufacturer/Brand Warranty?
In general, a manufacturer's warranty service/support is a written guarantee to the buyer of a product. Its terms assure the replacement or repair of the product, if necessary, within a specified period after the purchase (2-5 years depending on the brand/manufacturer). It is typically included in the price of the product. Products are brand new and sealed and the original manufacturer box is complete with the Manufacturer's genuine warranty. For most of the brand new/retail products that come with the manual and box, exceptions may apply (i.e., Cisco, Juniper Networks).
For the server parts (i.e., Dell, HPE) to get Full coverage of the warranty server must have a full 3- 5 years warranty. However, ALLHDD.COM will cover the warranty duration if any Manufacturer doesn't support the advertised warranty and there is no refund for those.
