Description
Product Information of 62P9H Dell Perc H710
The Dell 62P9H PERC H710 MINI-BLADE 6GBPS PCI-E SAS RAID controller card is a hardware component used for managing and controlling the disk drives in a server. This card is designed to be used in Dell PowerEdge blade servers and can be used to configure various RAID levels to ensure data redundancy and high availability. In this article, we will discuss the features and specifications of this RAID controller card in detail.
RAID Support
The Dell 62P9H PERC H710 MINI-BLADE 6GBPS PCI-E SAS RAID controller card supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a method of combining multiple hard drives into a single logical unit to improve performance, reliability, and data redundancy. RAID 0 offers the best performance by striping data across multiple drives but provides no data redundancy. RAID 1 provides data redundancy by mirroring data on two drives. RAID 5 provides data redundancy and improved performance by striping data and parity information across multiple drives. RAID 6 is similar to RAID 5 but provides additional data redundancy by using two parity blocks. RAID 10 combines the benefits of RAID 0 and RAID 1 by striping and mirroring data across multiple drives. RAID 50 and RAID 60 are combinations of RAID 5 and RAID 0 or RAID 6 and RAID 0, respectively.
Storage Capacity and Speed
The Dell 62P9H PERC H710 MINI-BLADE 6GBPS PCI-E SAS RAID controller card supports up to 32 SAS or SATA hard drives with a maximum capacity of 4TB per drive, providing a total storage capacity of 128TB. The card also supports solid-state drives (SSDs) for improved performance. The RAID controller card operates at a maximum speed of 6 Gbps per port, providing high-speed data transfer rates for faster data access.
PCI-E Interface
The Dell 62P9H PERC H710 MINI-BLADE 6GBPS PCI-E SAS RAID controller card uses the PCI-E (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) interface, which is a high-speed serial computer expansion bus standard. The PCI-E interface provides faster data transfer rates than the previous PCI bus and can support more devices on a single bus.
Cache Memory
The Dell 62P9H PERC H710 MINI-BLADE 6GBPS PCI-E SAS RAID controller card features a 512MB non-volatile cache memory, which improves performance by caching frequently accessed data in memory. The cache memory can be upgraded to 1GB or 2GB for even better performance.
Battery Backup
The Dell 62P9H PERC H710 MINI-BLADE 6GBPS PCI-E SAS RAID controller card comes with a battery backup unit (BBU) that provides power to the card in case of a power outage. The BBU ensures that the data stored in the cache memory is saved to the hard drives before the system shuts down, preventing data loss or corruption.
Management Software
The Dell 62P9H PERC H710 MINI-BLADE 6GBPS PCI-E SAS RAID controller card comes with management software that allows you to monitor and configure the RAID controller card. The software provides a user-friendly interface for configuring RAID arrays, monitoring disk health and performance, and setting up alerts for critical events.
