Product Overview of the 405-AAGK Dell SAS 12GBPS PCI-Express
Dell 405-AAGK is a SAS 12GBPS PCI-Express 3.0 X8 Mini RAID Controller designed to provide superior performance, data protection, and flexibility for small to medium-sized businesses. It is equipped with two internal mini SAS connectors and supports up to eight SAS or SATA hard drives.
PCI-Express 3.0 X8 Interface
The Dell 405-AAGK Mini RAID Controller uses a PCI-Express 3.0 x8 interface to connect to the server’s motherboard. The PCI-Express 3.0 standard provides twice the bandwidth compared to the previous generation, resulting in faster data transfer rates and improved overall system performance. The x8 interface provides a maximum theoretical bandwidth of 64Gbps, which is more than enough for most small to medium-sized businesses.
SAS 12GBPS Technology
The Dell 405-AAGK Mini RAID Controller utilizes SAS 12GBPS technology, which provides faster data transfer rates and higher reliability compared to SATA. SAS drives are also more durable and have a longer lifespan, making them ideal for mission-critical applications. The controller supports both SAS and SATA drives, providing flexibility and allowing businesses to use existing storage devices.
Two Internal Mini SAS Connectors
The Dell 405-AAGK Mini RAID Controller features two internal mini SAS connectors, which can support up to eight SAS or SATA hard drives. The mini SAS connector is a compact and high-density connector that provides reliable connectivity for high-performance storage devices. The two connectors allow for redundancy and flexibility, as businesses can use RAID 0, 1, 10, and 5 configurations to achieve their desired level of data protection.
RAID Support
The Dell 405-AAGK Mini RAID Controller supports various RAID configurations, including RAID 0, 1, 10, and 5. RAID 0 provides improved performance by striping data across multiple drives, while RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data across two drives. RAID 10 combines both RAID 0 and RAID 1 to provide both performance and data redundancy. RAID 5 provides data protection by striping data across multiple drives while using parity to ensure data integrity.
Easy to Install and Manage
The Dell 405-AAGK Mini RAID Controller is easy to install and manage. It comes with an intuitive user interface that allows administrators to easily configure and manage the RAID controller. The controller also supports hot-swappable drives, allowing administrators to replace failed drives without shutting down the system. The controller is also compatible with various operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware.
In Summary, the Dell 405-AAGK Mini RAID Controller is an excellent choice for small to medium-sized businesses looking for a reliable and flexible RAID solution. The controller features SAS 12GBPS technology, two internal mini SAS connectors, and supports various RAID configurations.
