Description
Product Overview of Dell Perc H830 12GBPS
In the world of computer systems, RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a technology that provides fault tolerance and redundancy by spreading data across multiple hard drives. RAID controllers are essential components in building RAID arrays as they manage the data transfer between the hard drives and the motherboard. One such RAID controller is the Dell 405-AAIB Perc H830, a high-performance, enterprise-class RAID controller that provides advanced RAID capabilities.
Specifications
The Dell 405-AAIB Perc H830 RAID controller is a PCIe 3.0 x8 SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) RAID controller that supports up to eight SAS or SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) hard drives or solid-state drives (SSDs). It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, and has a 2GB DDR3 NV (non-volatile) cache. The controller supports a maximum transfer rate of 12Gbps (gigabits per second) per port, providing high-speed data transfer between the hard drives and the motherboard.
Advanced RAID Capabilities
The Dell 405-AAIB Perc H830 RAID controller provides advanced RAID capabilities, making it an ideal solution for high-performance computing environments. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, which provide various levels of data redundancy and performance. RAID 0 stripes data across multiple hard drives, providing increased performance but no redundancy. RAID 1 mirrors data across multiple hard drives, providing redundancy but no performance improvement. RAID 5 stripes data across multiple hard drives with parity, providing both performance improvement and redundancy. RAID 6 is similar to RAID 5 but with dual parity, providing more redundancy. RAID 10 combines RAID 1 and RAID 0, providing both redundancy and performance improvement. RAID 50 combines RAID 5 and RAID 0, while RAID 60 combines RAID 6 and RAID 0, providing both performance improvement and redundancy.
High-Speed Data Transfer
The Dell 405-AAIB Perc H830 RAID controller supports a maximum transfer rate of 12Gbps per port, providing high-speed data transfer between the hard drives and the motherboard. This high-speed data transfer rate ensures that data is transferred quickly and efficiently, reducing system latency and improving overall system performance.
2GB DDR3 NV Cache
The Dell 405-AAIB Perc H830 RAID controller has a 2GB DDR3 NV cache, which provides high-speed data access and protection against data loss. The cache is non-volatile, meaning that it retains data even when power is lost, ensuring that data is not lost in the event of a power failure. The cache also provides write-back caching, which improves write performance by allowing the controller to acknowledge writes before they are physically written to the hard drives.
Compatibility
The Dell 405-AAIB Perc H830 RAID controller is compatible with a wide range of Dell PowerEdge servers, including the Dell PowerEdge R720, R720xd, R730, R730xd, R820, R920, T620, and M620. It is also compatible with a wide range of operating systems, including Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, VMware ESXi, and Citrix XenServer.
In Summary, the Dell 405-AAIB Perc H830 RAID controller is a high-performance, enterprise-class RAID controller that provides advanced RAID capabilities, high-speed data transfer, and a 2GB DDR3 NV cache. It is an ideal solution for high-performance computing environments and is compatible with a wide range of Dell PowerEdge servers and operating systems.
