Description
Product Details of 403-BBKN Dell 9361-8I 12GBPS PCIE 3.0
The 403-BBKN Dell 9361-8I is a RAID controller that provides hardware-level RAID protection for storage devices connected to it. The controller is designed to support internal storage devices and offers eight internal ports for connecting storage devices. This controller is compatible with SATA and SAS drives and offers a maximum data transfer rate of 12Gbps.
PCIE 3.0 Interface
The 403-BBKN Dell 9361-8I RAID controller utilizes the PCI Express 3.0 interface for connecting to the motherboard of a computer. The PCI Express 3.0 interface offers faster data transfer rates compared to the previous versions of PCI Express. This enables the RAID controller to transfer data between the storage devices and the computer at faster speeds, resulting in improved system performance.
8 Internal Ports
The 403-BBKN Dell 9361-8I RAID controller has eight internal ports, allowing it to support up to eight storage devices. These internal ports are compatible with both SATA and SAS drives. SATA is a widely used interface for connecting hard disk drives and solid-state drives to a computer. SAS, on the other hand, is a newer interface designed for enterprise-level storage systems. SAS drives are typically more expensive than SATA drives but offer better performance and reliability.
Hardware-Level RAID Protection
RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. RAID technology allows multiple hard disk drives to be combined into a single logical unit for improved performance, reliability, and data protection. The 403-BBKN Dell 9361-8I RAID controller supports several RAID levels, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, and RAID 10.
RAID 0 is a striping RAID level that provides improved performance by splitting data across multiple hard drives. However, it does not offer any data redundancy, meaning that if one drive fails, all data is lost.
RAID 1 is a mirroring RAID level that provides data redundancy by writing the same data to two drives. If one drive fails, the other drive can continue to operate, and no data is lost.
RAID 5 is a striping with parity RAID level that provides both improved performance and data redundancy. Data is split across multiple drives, and parity information is calculated and stored on each drive. If one drive fails, the controller can use the parity information to rebuild the lost data on a new drive.
RAID 6 is similar to RAID 5 but provides additional redundancy by calculating two sets of parity information instead of one. This allows the controller to recover from the failure of two drives.
RAID 10 is a combination of RAID 0 and RAID 1. It provides improved performance by striping data across multiple mirrored drives. If one drive fails, the controller can continue to operate using the remaining drives in the array.
1G DDRIII Cache Memory
The 403-BBKN Dell 9361-8I RAID controller comes equipped with 1G DDRIII cache memory. Cache memory is a type of high-speed memory that is used to temporarily store data that is frequently accessed by the computer. The controller uses the cache memory to improve the performance of read and write operations to the connected storage devices.
SATA/SAS Compatibility
The 403-BBKN Dell 9361-8I RAID controller is compatible with both SATA and SAS drives. SATA is a widely used interface for connecting hard disk drives and solid-state drives to a computer. SAS, on the other hand, is a newer interface designed for enterprise-level storage systems. SAS drives are typically more expensive than SATA drives but offer better performance and reliability.
