Description
Product overview of 406-BBDL Dell 12GBPS 8-Port External
The 406-BBDL Dell 12GBPS 8-Port External PCI-E 3.0 X8 SAS HBA is a device that is used to connect multiple SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) hard drives to a server or computer. SAS is a high-speed data transfer protocol that is used to connect hard drives to servers and other computing devices. The 406-BBDL Dell HBA (Host Bus Adapter) is designed to provide high-speed data transfer rates and high reliability for businesses and organizations that rely on data storage and processing.
PCI-E 3.0 X8 Interface
The 406-BBDL Dell HBA features a PCI-E (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) 3.0 X8 interface. PCI-E is a high-speed data transfer protocol that is used to connect peripherals to a computer. The 3.0 version of PCI-E provides faster data transfer rates compared to earlier versions, with a maximum transfer rate of 8 gigatransfers per second (GT/s) per lane. The X8 interface provides eight lanes of data transfer, allowing the HBA to provide high-speed data transfer rates between the server or computer and the SAS hard drives.
12GBPS Data Transfer Rate
The 406-BBDL Dell HBA provides a data transfer rate of 12 gigabits per second (Gbps). This is a significant improvement over the earlier SAS data transfer rate of 6Gbps. The higher data transfer rate allows for faster data transfer between the SAS hard drives and the server or computer, improving overall system performance.
External 8-Port SAS Connectivity
The 406-BBDL Dell HBA provides eight external SAS ports that are used to connect the SAS hard drives to the server or computer. These ports are located on the external faceplate of the HBA, making it easy to connect and disconnect the SAS hard drives. The external connectivity also allows for easier expansion of the storage capacity of the server or computer.
Support for Multiple SAS Devices
The 406-BBDL Dell HBA supports multiple SAS devices, including hard drives, solid-state drives (SSDs), and tape drives. This allows for greater flexibility in data storage and retrieval, and provides businesses and organizations with the ability to tailor their data storage needs to their specific requirements.
RAID Support
The 406-BBDL Dell HBA supports RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks), which is a data storage technology that uses multiple disks to improve performance, reliability, or a combination of both. RAID is used to provide redundancy and fault tolerance, ensuring that data is not lost in the event of a disk failure. The 406-BBDL Dell HBA supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60.
Compatibility
The 406-BBDL Dell HBA is compatible with a wide range of servers and operating systems. It is designed to work with Dell PowerEdge servers and is compatible with Microsoft Windows Server, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, and VMware ESXi. This makes it a versatile and flexible solution for businesses and organizations that require high-speed and reliable data storage and processing.
In Summary,The 406-BBDL Dell 12GBPS 8-Port External PCI-E 3.0 X8 SAS HBA is a high-performance device that is designed to provide high-speed and reliable data transfer between SAS hard drives and a server or computer. It features a PCI-E 3.0 X8 interface, 12Gbps data transfer rate, external 8-port SAS connectivity, support for multiple SAS devices, RAID support, and compatibility with a wide range of servers and operating systems. The 406-BBDL Dell HBA is a versatile and
