The HPE 698531-B21 P431/2GB FBWC 12GB 2-Ports SAS Controller is equipped with Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC). FBWC provides write caching by using a combination of high-speed DRAM memory and non-volatile flash memory. The write cache enhances the performance of the controller by allowing writes to be temporarily stored in the high-speed DRAM before being written to the hard disk drives. In the event of a power failure or other disruption, the contents of the write cache are automatically saved to the flash memory, ensuring data integrity and avoiding data loss. This enhances the overall performance and reliability of the HPE P431 controller.
