Description
Power Efficiency and Reliability
The HP Storageworks P2000 Lff Drive Enclosure I/O Module Storage Controller (AP844A) is a high-performance storage solution that is designed to provide power efficiency and reliability to your data center.
In terms of power efficiency, the AP844A is designed to be energy-efficient, reducing power consumption and thereby reducing costs associated with running the storage system. Additionally, the use of Serial Attached SCSI 2 (SAS 2) technology provides a fast and reliable interface for data transfer, which helps to reduce the energy required to transfer data and improve the overall power efficiency of the system.
In terms of reliability, the AP844A uses RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) technology to provide data protection and ensure the high availability of your data. This means that in the event of a disk failure, the RAID system can automatically rebuild the data from the remaining disks, ensuring that your data is protected and readily available. Additionally, the use of SAS 2 technology provides a fast and reliable interface for data transfer, helping to reduce the likelihood of data loss or corruption.
Flexibility and Scalability
The AP844A HP Storageworks P2000 Lff Drive Enclosure I/O Module Storage Controller (Raid) is a highly flexible and scalable storage solution that provides high-speed data transfer and reliable data protection. This storage controller is equipped with Serial Attached SCSI 2 technology, which allows for a maximum data transfer speed of 600 MBPS.
One of the key benefits of the AP844A is its flexibility. The drive enclosure can be easily expanded by adding additional hard drives as the storage needs grow. This allows for seamless scalability without having to replace the entire storage system.
Another advantage of the AP844A is its scalability. This storage controller is designed to support high-speed data transfer and provide reliable data protection. It supports multiple RAID levels such as RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10 and 50. This means that the storage solution can be configured to meet the specific data protection and performance requirements of the user.
Maximum Transfer Speeds
The AP844A HP StorageWorks P2000 LFF Drive Enclosure I/O Module Storage Controller is equipped with a Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) 2 interface, which supports a maximum transfer speed of 600 MB/s.
SAS is a high-speed data storage interface that uses a serial communication protocol to transfer data between a computer and a storage device. SAS 2 is an updated version of SAS that supports faster data transfer speeds compared to its predecessor.
A transfer speed of 600 MB/s refers to the maximum rate at which data can be transferred from the storage device to the computer or vice versa. This maximum transfer speed is dependent on various factors such as the type and speed of the hard drive, the speed of the SAS interface, and the performance of the storage controller.
It’s important to note that the actual transfer speed of the AP844A HP StorageWorks P2000 LFF Drive Enclosure I/O Module Storage Controller will depend on the specific configuration and usage scenario, and may be lower than the maximum transfer speed of 600 MB/s.
