Dell XM771 PERC 5/i PCI-Express SAS RAID Controller is a high-performance storage solution that is designed to enhance the reliability and performance of Dell PowerEdge servers. This RAID controller is equipped with advanced features such as SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) support, PCI-Express connectivity, and 256MB cache memory. It provides exceptional data protection and reliability, making it ideal for mission-critical applications that require high availability and performance.
In this article, we will discuss the features and benefits of the Dell XM771 PERC 5/i PCI-Express SAS RAID Controller in detail.
Features of Dell XM771 PERC 5/i PCI-Express SAS RAID ControllerThe Dell XM771 PERC 5/i PCI-Express SAS RAID Controller supports SAS technology, which provides a high-speed, serial interface for connecting hard drives and other storage devices to the server. SAS is a reliable and scalable technology that offers faster data transfer rates than traditional SCSI (Small Computer System Interface) technology.
PCI-Express ConnectivityThe Dell XM771 PERC 5/i PCI-Express SAS RAID Controller is designed to be installed in the PCI-Express slot of a Dell PowerEdge server. PCI-Express is a high-speed serial bus that offers faster data transfer rates than the older PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect) bus. The use of PCI-Express connectivity ensures that the RAID controller can handle the high bandwidth demands of modern storage devices.
256MB Cache MemoryThe Dell XM771 PERC 5/i PCI-Express SAS RAID Controller comes with 256MB cache memory, which helps to enhance the performance of the RAID controller. The cache memory is used to store frequently accessed data, which reduces the amount of time it takes to retrieve the data from the hard drive. This helps to improve the overall performance of the RAID controller and the server.
RAID Levels SupportedThe Dell XM771 PERC 5/i PCI-Express SAS RAID Controller supports multiple RAID levels, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 10, and RAID 50. These RAID levels offer different levels of data protection and performance, allowing users to choose the appropriate RAID level based on their specific requirements.
Battery BackupThe Dell XM771 PERC 5/i PCI-Express SAS RAID Controller is equipped with a battery backup unit (BBU), which provides protection against data loss in the event of a power outage. The BBU ensures that any data that is stored in the cache memory is saved to the hard drive before the system shuts down. This helps to prevent data loss and ensures that the system can be quickly restored after a power outage.
