This HBA is capable of providing 12Gbps SAS connectivity to the server, which enables it to support high-speed data transfer rates for demanding applications such as virtualization, database management, and high-performance computing.
In this article, we will discuss the features and capabilities of the Dell G68FP SAS 12Gbps PERC HBA330 HBA Mx Blade Controller in detail, including its hardware specifications, performance characteristics, and application areas. We will also explain how this HBA can be used to optimize the performance and reliability of Dell PowerEdge Mx Blade Server systems.
Specifications of Dell G68FP SAS 12Gbps PERC HBA330 HBA Mx Blade Controller
The Dell G68FP SAS 12Gbps PERC HBA330 HBA Mx Blade Controller is a PCIe 3.0 x8 HBA that supports up to 8 SAS/SATA hard drives or solid-state drives (SSDs). It is equipped with two mini-SAS HD SFF8644 connectors, each of which can support up to four SAS or SATA drives.
The HBA also features a Broadcom SAS3508 RAID-on-Chip (ROC) controller that provides hardware RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60 support. This enables the HBA to provide high levels of data protection and redundancy for mission-critical applications.
Performance Characteristics of Dell G68FP SAS 12Gbps PERC HBA330 HBA Mx Blade Controller
The Dell G68FP SAS 12Gbps PERC HBA330 HBA Mx Blade Controller is designed to deliver high levels of performance and reliability for demanding applications. It supports SAS data transfer rates of up to 12Gbps, which is twice the speed of the previous generation SAS 6Gbps technology.
The HBA also features a high-performance Broadcom SAS3508 RAID-on-Chip (ROC) controller, which provides hardware RAID acceleration and enhances system performance. The hardware RAID acceleration offloads RAID parity calculations from the host processor, which reduces system overhead and increases performance.
