Description
Product Details of 3V42G Dell Perc H730p 8 Channel PCI-E 3.0
Dell 3V42G Perc H730p is a mini mono RAID controller that is designed for small to medium-sized businesses. This RAID controller has eight channels and supports both SAS and SATA drives. It also supports the PCI-E 3.0 interface, which provides faster data transfer rates. In this article, we will provide a detailed explanation of the Dell 3V42G Perc H730p mini mono RAID controller.
RAID Controller
A RAID controller is a device that manages a RAID (redundant array of independent disks) system. RAID is a technology that allows multiple hard drives to work together to provide better performance, increased capacity, and improved data protection. The RAID controller manages the RAID system by controlling how data is read and written to the hard drives.
Channels
The Dell 3V42G Perc H730p mini mono RAID controller has eight channels. A channel is a pathway that allows data to be transferred between the RAID controller and the hard drives. Having multiple channels allows for better performance and improved data transfer rates.
SAS and SATA
The Dell 3V42G Perc H730p mini mono RAID controller supports both SAS (serial attached SCSI) and SATA (serial ATA) drives. SAS drives are typically used in enterprise-level environments and provide faster data transfer rates than SATA drives. SATA drives are commonly used in desktops and laptops.
PCI-E 3.0
The Dell 3V42G Perc H730p mini mono RAID controller supports the PCI-E 3.0 interface. PCI-E (peripheral component interconnect express) is a high-speed interface that provides faster data transfer rates than other interfaces such as PCI and AGP. The PCI-E 3.0 interface provides a maximum data transfer rate of 8 gigatransfers per second (GT/s).
Data Transfer Rates
The Dell 3V42G Perc H730p mini mono RAID controller supports SAS drives with a data transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second (Gbps) and SATA drives with a data transfer rate of 6 Gbps. The higher data transfer rate of SAS drives allows for faster data access and improved system performance.
Mini Mono Form Factor
The Dell 3V42G Perc H730p mini mono RAID controller has a mini mono form factor. The mini mono form factor is a smaller version of the standard mono form factor, which is used for server motherboards. The mini mono form factor is designed for use in small to medium-sized businesses and provides a compact, space-saving solution.
RAID Levels
The Dell 3V42G Perc H730p mini mono RAID controller supports several RAID levels. RAID 0 provides improved performance by striping data across multiple hard drives. RAID 1 provides improved data protection by mirroring data across multiple hard drives. RAID 5 provides both improved performance and data protection by striping data across multiple hard drives with parity information. RAID 6 provides even greater data protection by striping data across multiple hard drives with dual parity information.
Management Tools
The Dell 3V42G Perc H730p mini mono RAID controller comes with management tools that allow for easy configuration and monitoring of the RAID system. The management tools provide a graphical user interface (GUI) that allows for easy configuration of the RAID system, as well as real-time monitoring of system performance and status.
Summary, the Dell 3V42G Perc H730p mini mono RAID controller is a compact and powerful RAID controller that is designed for small to medium-sized businesses. It supports both SAS and SATA drives, has eight channels, and supports the PCI-E 3.0 interface for faster data transfer rates.
