Product overview of YT21H Dell 6GBS 4 Port SAS Controller Module
The YT21H Dell 6GBS 4 Port SAS Controller Module is a hardware component designed for use in Dell PowerVault MD3200 and MD3220 storage systems. It is an essential part of the system that enables the transfer of data between the storage disks and the server.
In this article, we will take a closer look at the YT21H Dell 6GBS 4 Port SAS Controller Module and explain its features, benefits, and how it works.
A SAS Controller Module
A SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) controller module is a hardware component that manages the transfer of data between storage devices and the server. It is responsible for controlling the flow of data and ensuring that it is transferred efficiently and without errors.
SAS controllers are used in storage systems that require high levels of performance and reliability. They are commonly used in enterprise-level storage systems and data centers.
Features of YT21H Dell 6GBS 4 Port SAS Controller Module
The YT21H Dell 6GBS 4 Port SAS Controller Module is designed specifically for use in Dell PowerVault MD3200 and MD3220 storage systems. Some of the key features of this module include:
- 6Gbps Data Transfer Rate: The YT21H Dell 6GBS 4 Port SAS Controller Module supports data transfer rates of up to 6Gbps. This high transfer rate ensures that data is transferred quickly and efficiently.
- 4 Port SAS Connectivity: The module has four SAS ports that provide connectivity to the storage disks. This allows for multiple disks to be connected to the system, which increases the storage capacity and redundancy.
- RAID Support: The YT21H Dell 6GBS 4 Port SAS Controller Module supports RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) configurations. RAID is a data storage technology that combines multiple disks into a single logical unit to improve performance, reliability, or both.
- Hot-Swap Support: The module supports hot-swapping of SAS drives. Hot-swapping is the ability to replace a disk while the system is running, without having to shut down the system. This ensures that the storage system remains online and available, even during disk replacements.
Benefits of YT21H Dell 6GBS 4 Port SAS Controller Module
The YT21H Dell 6GBS 4 Port SAS Controller Module offers several benefits to users, including:
- High Performance: The module’s 6Gbps data transfer rate ensures that data is transferred quickly and efficiently, which improves the performance of the storage system.
- Scalability: The four SAS ports on the module allow for multiple disks to be connected to the system, which increases the storage capacity and scalability of the system.
- Reliability: The YT21H Dell 6GBS 4 Port SAS Controller Module supports RAID configurations, which improves the reliability of the storage system.
- Hot-Swap Support: The hot-swap support of the module ensures that the storage system remains online and available, even during disk replacements. This reduces downtime and improves system availability.
YT21H Dell 6GBS 4 Port SAS Controller Module
The YT21H Dell 6GBS 4 Port SAS Controller Module works by managing the transfer of data between the storage disks and the server. The module is installed in the storage system and connected to the server via a SAS cable.
The SAS controller communicates with the server’s operating system and manages the flow of data to and from the storage disks. When data is requested by the server, the SAS controller locates the data on the disk and transfers it to the server.
