Description
Product Overview of the WFN6R SAS-SATA Raid Controller
The WFN6R Dell MegaRAID SAS 9341-8i is a RAID (redundant array of independent disks) controller designed to enhance storage performance and reliability. This SAS (serial-attached SCSI) controller can support up to eight drives, making it ideal for small to medium-sized businesses that need to manage large amounts of data.
Features
The WFN6R Dell MegaRAID SAS 9341-8i has several features that make it an attractive option for businesses looking to improve their storage capabilities. These features include:
- PCI-E 3.0 Interface: This RAID controller has a PCI-E 3.0 interface, which provides high bandwidth and low latency. This means that data can be transferred quickly and efficiently between the controller and the drives, resulting in faster performance.
- 12Gbps SAS: The WFN6R Dell MegaRAID SAS 9341-8i supports 12Gbps SAS, which is the latest SAS standard. This provides faster data transfer rates and better performance compared to the previous generation of SAS controllers.
- Support for SATA Drives: In addition to SAS drives, this controller also supports SATA (serial ATA) drives. SATA drives are commonly used in desktop and consumer-grade storage solutions, and the ability to support both SAS and SATA drives makes this controller more versatile.
- RAID Support: The WFN6R Dell MegaRAID SAS 9341-8i supports several RAID levels, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, and RAID 50. RAID provides data redundancy and improved performance by spreading data across multiple drives.
- Cache Memory: This RAID controller has cache memory, which can improve performance by caching frequently accessed data. The WFN6R Dell MegaRAID SAS 9341-8i has 1GB of cache memory, which is sufficient for most small to medium-sized businesses.
- Easy Management: The WFN6R Dell MegaRAID SAS 9341-8i can be managed using the MegaRAID Storage Manager software. This software provides a user-friendly interface for managing the RAID controller and monitoring its performance.
Benefits
The WFN6R Dell MegaRAID SAS 9341-8i offers several benefits for businesses looking to improve their storage capabilities. These benefits include:
- Improved Performance: The WFN6R Dell MegaRAID SAS 9341-8i can improve storage performance by providing faster data transfer rates and spreading data across multiple drives using RAID. This can result in faster read and write speeds and better overall performance.
- Data Redundancy: RAID provides data redundancy, which means that if one drive fails, the data can be recovered from the other drives. This can help prevent data loss and downtime.
- Versatility: The WFN6R Dell MegaRAID SAS 9341-8i can support both SAS and SATA drives, making it more versatile than controllers that only support one type of drive. This can make it easier for businesses to manage their storage solutions.
- User-Friendly Management: The MegaRAID Storage Manager software makes it easy to manage the RAID controller and monitor its performance. This can save businesses time and resources by providing a user-friendly interface for managing the controller.
Overall, the WFN6R Dell MegaRAID SAS 9341-8i is a powerful RAID controller that can improve storage performance and reliability for small to medium-sized businesses. With support for both SAS and SATA drives, and several RAID levels, this controller is versatile and can be tailored to the needs of individual businesses. The PCI-E 3.0 interface and 12Gbps SAS support provide fast data transfer rates
