Product Overview of SATA 3GBPS Raid Controller
The HP 490094-001 StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 2300SA 512MB Cache SAS 3GBPS SATA 3GBPS Raid Controller Card is a piece of hardware used to manage and control data storage in a computer system. This card is designed for use in server systems that require high-speed data access and storage. It provides advanced features such as RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) and cache management that enhance the performance and reliability of the system.
In this article, we will take a closer look at the HP 490094-001 StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 2300SA 512MB Cache SAS 3GBPS SATA 3GBPS Raid Controller Card, exploring its features, benefits, and applications.
RAID
RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) is a technology that allows multiple physical hard drives to be combined into a single logical drive. RAID provides several benefits, including increased performance and reliability. There are several different RAID configurations available, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Some common RAID configurations include:
- RAID 0: Data is striped across two or more drives for increased performance. However, this configuration does not provide any redundancy, so if one drive fails, all data is lost.
- RAID 1: Data is mirrored across two drives for increased redundancy. If one drive fails, the other drive can continue to operate normally.
- RAID 5: Data is striped across three or more drives, with parity information stored on each drive. This provides both performance and redundancy, as the system can continue to operate normally even if one drive fails.
Features
The HP 490094-001 StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 2300SA 512MB Cache SAS 3GBPS SATA 3GBPS Raid Controller Card provides several advanced features that enhance the performance and reliability of a computer system. Some of these features include:
- RAID Support: The HP 490094-001 StorageWorks Modular Smart Array 2300SA 512MB Cache SAS 3GBPS SATA 3GBPS Raid Controller Card supports several different RAID configurations, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 10, 50, and 6.
- Cache Management: The card includes a 512MB cache that helps to speed up data access times. The cache is managed automatically by the card, which ensures that frequently accessed data is stored in the cache for faster access.
- SAS and SATA Support: The card supports both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) hard drives, providing flexibility in the choice of storage devices.
- Hot-Swappable Drives: The card supports hot-swappable drives, which means that drives can be replaced without having to shut down the system.
- Online Capacity Expansion: The card supports online capacity expansion, which means that additional drives can be added to the system without having to shut down the system.
