Description
Product Information of 729639-001 HPE 4GB
The HPE 729639-001 4GB FBWC Module For Smart Array P Series is a hardware component designed by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) to enhance the performance and functionality of its Smart Array P Series controllers. The module is a cache memory device that provides additional memory space for data storage, processing, and retrieval.
Definetion Smart Array P Series ControllerBefore we dive into the details of the HPE 729639-001 4GB FBWC Module, let’s first understand what a Smart Array P Series Controller is.
A Smart Array P Series Controller is a hardware device used in enterprise-level servers and storage systems to manage and organize data storage. It works as a RAID (redundant array of independent disks) controller, which means it can configure multiple hard drives to work together as a single logical unit.
Smart Array P Series controllers come with various features such as data protection, storage optimization, and improved system performance. They can be used in various applications such as online transaction processing (OLTP), data warehousing, and cloud computing.
The FBWC ModuleAn FBWC (Flash-Backed Write Cache) module is a hardware component used in servers and storage systems to improve their data write performance. It works by providing a temporary cache memory that stores data temporarily before it is written to a permanent storage device like a hard disk drive or a solid-state drive.
The FBWC module is called “Flash-Backed” because it uses NAND flash memory to store data. This is different from traditional cache memory devices that use volatile memory like DRAM (Dynamic Random-Access Memory). In case of a power failure or system crash, the data stored in the FBWC module is preserved in the NAND flash memory, so it can be retrieved later when the system comes back online.
Features of HPE 4GB FBWC ModuleNow let’s talk about the features of the HPE 4GB FBWC Module For Smart Array P Series.
Capacity and CompatibilityThe HPE 729639-001 4GB FBWC Module has a capacity of 4 gigabytes, which means it can store up to 4 GB of data temporarily. It is compatible with Smart Array P Series controllers such as the Smart Array P440ar, P440, P841, P840, and P246br.
Data ProtectionThe HPE 729639-001 4GB FBWC Module provides data protection by using a write-back cache mode. This mode ensures that data is written to the FBWC module first before it is written to the permanent storage device. In case of a power failure or system crash, the data stored in the FBWC module is preserved, so there is no data loss.
Improved System PerformanceThe HPE 729639-001 4GB FBWC Module improves system performance by reducing the amount of time it takes to write data to a permanent storage device. When data is written to the FBWC module, it is stored in the NAND flash memory, which is faster than writing data directly to a hard disk drive or a solid-state drive. This results in faster write speeds and improved system performance.
Compatibility with SSDs
The HPE 729639-001 4GB FBWC Module is compatible with solid-state drives (SSDs). SSDs are faster than traditional hard disk drives (HDDs) and can provide better system performance. The FBWC module can work with SSDs to further enhance the system performance.
