The N98MP Dell 4-Ports SAS 6GBPS Raid Controller Card is a device that connects to a computer's host bus and provides RAID functionality to a storage array. Some of its key features include:
- Four SAS 6 Gbps ports: The N98MP Dell 4-Ports SAS 6GBPS Raid Controller Card has four SAS ports that support data transfer speeds of up to 6 Gbps. This allows for high-speed data transfer and improved performance when working with large amounts of data.
- RAID support: The controller card supports various RAID levels including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1E, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50, and RAID 60. This allows for the protection of data against disk failure and improved performance.
- Battery Backup Unit (BBU): The controller card has a BBU that provides power to the controller card's cache memory to maintain data integrity in the event of a power failure. This ensures that data is not lost in case of power interruption.
- Advanced data protection features: The controller card includes features such as hot spare, global hot spare, and automatic failover for advanced data protection and high availability. These features ensure that data is always available and protected against failures or disruptions.
- Advanced monitoring and management: The controller card provides advanced monitoring and management features such as event notifications, email alerts, and real-time monitoring of the controller card's status and performance. This allows for the monitoring and management of the controller card's performance and status in real-time.
- Compatibility: The controller card is compatible with Dell PowerVault MD3200 and MD3200i storage arrays. This ensures that the controller card will work seamlessly with these storage arrays.
- Technical specifications: The controller card uses a PCI-E x8 interface, supports up to 256 logical drives, and has a cache memory of 512MB. These technical specifications allow for improved performance and scalability.
- Easy Installation: The card is easy to install and configure, providing a simple and straightforward setup process.
- Scalability: The controller card can handle an increasing number of requests without experiencing a significant decrease in performance, allowing for growth and expansion.
The N98MP Dell 4-Ports SAS 6GBPS Raid Controller Card supports various RAID levels, including:
- RAID 0 (Striping) : RAID 0 splits data across multiple drives, which improves read and write performance. However, it does not provide any data protection, so if one drive fails, all data is lost.
- RAID 1 (Mirroring) : RAID 1 creates an exact copy of data on two or more drives, so if one drive fails, the other drive(s) can still access the data.
- RAID 1E (Striped Mirroring) : RAID 1E is similar to RAID 1 but it uses striping, which improves performance. Data is mirrored across multiple drives, so if one drive fails, the other drive(s) can still access the data.
- RAID 5 (Parity) : RAID 5 uses distributed parity, which distributes parity information across multiple drives. This allows the controller card to reconstruct data if one drive fails.
- RAID 6 (Double Parity) : RAID 6 is similar to RAID 5 but uses double parity, which provides additional protection against data loss in case of two simultaneous drive failures.
- RAID 10 (Mirroring and Striping) : RAID 10 combines RAID 1 and RAID 0, mirroring data across multiple drives, and then striping it across multiple drives. This improves performance and also provides data protection.
- RAID 50 (Striping with Parity) : RAID 50 is similar to RAID 5, but uses striping to split data across multiple drives and provides additional protection against data loss.
- RAID 60 (Striping with Double Parity) : RAID 60 is similar to RAID 6, but uses striping to split data across multiple drives and provides additional protection against data loss.
The N98MP Dell 4-Ports SAS 6GBPS Raid Controller Card includes several data protection and high availability features to ensure data integrity and availability, even in the event of failures or disruptions:
- Hot Spare: A hot spare is a spare drive that is automatically activated in the event of a drive failure. This feature ensures that data is protected even in case of a drive failure.
- Global Hot Spare: A global hot spare is a spare drive that can be used by any RAID volume on the controller card, providing additional protection against data loss.
- Automatic Failover: The controller card has automatic failover feature which automatically switches to a secondary connection in case of a failure, ensuring that data is always available.
- Battery Backup Unit (BBU): The controller card has a BBU that provides power to the controller card's cache memory to maintain data integrity in the event of a power failure. This ensures that data is not lost in case of power interruption.
- Advanced monitoring and management: The controller card provides advanced monitoring and management features such as event notifications, email alerts, and real-time monitoring of the controller card's status and performance. This allows for the monitoring and management of the controller card's performance and status in real-time, which can help to detect potential issues before they become critical.
- Error Correction Code (ECC): The controller card supports Error Correction Code (ECC) that detects and corrects single-bit errors in data storage. It prevents data corruption and improves data integrity.
- Support for RAID levels: The N98MP Dell 4-Ports SAS 6GBPS Raid Controller Card supports various RAID levels including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 1E, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50, and RAID 60. This provides multiple options for data protection and high availability.
- Data replication: The controller card supports data replication which allows for multiple copies of data to be maintained across different locations, ensuring that data is always available and protected in case of failures or disruptions.
