One of the hardware components offered by Dell is the Dell PERC H710 SAS Raid Controller. The Dell 17MXW PERC H710 is a powerful Raid controller designed for high-performance storage environments. In this article, we will discuss in detail what the Dell 17MXW PERC H710 is, its features, and its benefits.
Features of Dell 17MXW PERC H710
The Dell 17MXW PERC H710 has several features that make it an ideal choice for high-performance storage environments. Here are some of the key features of the PERC H710:
- SAS 6GB/s Interface: The PERC H710 uses the SAS 6GB/s interface, which provides a high-speed data transfer rate between the controller and the drives. This high-speed interface ensures that data is transferred quickly, reducing the time required for backup and restore operations.
- RAID Support: The PERC H710 supports several RAID levels, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, and RAID 50. This allows users to choose the RAID level that best suits their needs.
- NV Cache: The PERC H710 comes with 512MB of non-volatile (NV) cache. This cache is used to store frequently accessed data, which helps to speed up read and write operations.
- Battery Backup: The PERC H710 comes with an optional battery backup unit (BBU), which provides power to the NV cache in the event of a power failure. This ensures that data in the cache is not lost in the event of a power outage.
- Easy Management: The PERC H710 is managed through Dell’s OpenManage software. This software allows users to easily configure and manage the controller, including setting up RAID levels, monitoring drive health, and updating firmware.
