RAID support and data protection

The 750054-001 HPE H241 12GBPS Dual Port SAS PCI-E Ext Smart HBA is a high-performance host bus adapter that supports a variety of RAID levels and data protection features.

In terms of RAID support, the H241 HBA supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. This allows for a variety of configuration options to meet the needs of different applications, such as data redundancy, performance optimization, and large-scale storage capacity.

The H241 HBA also supports advanced RAID features such as RAID-level migration, online RAID level migration, and global hot spare, to improve data availability and reduce downtime.

In terms of data protection, the H241 HBA includes a battery-backed write cache (BBWC) feature, which improves write performance and data protection by caching data in non-volatile memory. This feature also provides protection against data loss in the event of a power failure.

Additionally, the H241 HBA supports advanced data protection features such as Data Path Protection, which provides multiple paths for data to travel between the host and storage devices, ensuring data availability in the event of a failure.
