The Dell 342-1560 PERC H800 6GBPS PCI-E 2.0 SAS Raid Controller with 512MB Cache is a hardware device used for managing and controlling data storage in computer systems. It is an essential component for businesses and individuals who require high-performance and reliable storage solutions. In this article, we will discuss in detail the features and benefits of the Dell 342-1560 PERC H800 6GBPS PCI-E 2.0 SAS Raid Controller with 512MB Cache.
RAID ControllerRAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a data storage technology that allows multiple hard drives to be combined and configured in various ways to improve performance, data redundancy, and data recovery. A RAID controller is a hardware device that manages and controls the RAID array. It is responsible for organizing and distributing data across the drives, monitoring the health of the drives, and handling data recovery in case of a failure.
FeaturesThe Dell 342-1560 PERC H800 RAID Controller is designed to provide high performance, reliability, and scalability to enterprise-level storage systems. The following are the key features of the controller:
- High-speed data transfer: The PERC H800 RAID Controller supports a maximum data transfer rate of 6Gbps, which is six times faster than the previous generation controllers. This high-speed data transfer rate allows for faster data access and transfer, which improves the overall performance of the system.
- PCI Express 2.0 interface: The PERC H800 RAID Controller is designed to work with the PCI Express 2.0 interface, which provides higher bandwidth and faster data transfer than the previous generation PCI Express 1.0 interface.
- SAS connectivity: The PERC H800 RAID Controller supports Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) connectivity, which is a high-speed interface for connecting storage devices. SAS provides faster data transfer rates than SATA (Serial ATA) and is ideal for enterprise-level storage systems.
- RAID Levels: The PERC H800 RAID Controller supports a wide range of RAID levels, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, and RAID 50. These RAID levels offer various combinations of performance, data redundancy, and data recovery.
- Cache memory: The PERC H800 RAID Controller comes with 512MB of cache memory, which is used to store frequently accessed data. The cache memory improves the overall performance of the system by reducing the time it takes to access frequently used data.
- Battery backup unit: The PERC H800 RAID Controller comes with an optional battery backup unit (BBU), which provides power to the cache memory in case of a power failure. The BBU ensures that the data in the cache memory is not lost in case of a power failure.
The Dell 342-1560 PERC H800 RAID Controller offers several benefits to enterprise-level storage systems. The following are the key benefits of the controller:
- Improved performance: The high-speed data transfer rate, PCI Express 2.0 interface, and SAS connectivity of the PERC H800 RAID Controller result in faster data access and transfer, which improves the overall performance of the system.
- Data redundancy: The PERC H800 RAID Controller supports various RAID levels, including RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10, which provide data redundancy. Data redundancy ensures that the data is not lost in case of a drive failure, which is critical for enterprise-level storage systems.
