It is important to check the compatibility of the 462967-B21 HP 512MB BBWC Upgrade Kit with your specific Smart Array controller and server model before purchasing and installing the kit.

Performance and Data ProtectionThe 462967-B21 HP 512MB BBWC Upgrade Kit is designed to improve the performance and data protection of HP Smart Array controllers. The upgrade kit includes a battery-backed write cache (BBWC) module, which provides a write cache buffer that is protected by a battery. This allows for data to be written to the cache in the event of a power failure, ensuring that data is not lost in the event of a power interruption.
The BBWC module improves performance by increasing the speed at which data is written to the cache. This is done by temporarily storing data in the cache before it is written to the physical drives. This improves the overall performance of the Smart Array controller, particularly in high-performance storage environments where there is a lot of data being written or read.
In terms of data protection, the 462967-B21 HP 512MB BBWC Upgrade Kit provides several key benefits, such as:
- Improved data availability: In the event of a power failure, the BBWC module will ensure that data is not lost by temporarily storing it in the cache. This means that the data will still be available once power is restored.
- Improved data integrity: By temporarily storing data in the cache before it is written to the physical drives, the BBWC module ensures that data is written to the cache in the correct order. This can help prevent data corruption and improve data integrity.
- Improved data backup and recovery: The BBWC module allows for faster data transfer rates to and from the cache, which can improve the speed of data backup and recovery operations.
It's important to note that the 462967-B21 HP 512MB BBWC Upgrade Kit does not replace traditional data backup and recovery procedures. It should be used in conjunction with appropriate data backup and recovery software and hardware to ensure complete data protection.
