Product Description

Product Description

The "12Gb 2 - port SAS RAID Card (2GB Cache, 8 SAS Ports, Mezzanine, FIO)" is a high - performance storage controller card. Taking the HPE Smart Array P440ar/2GB FBWC as an example, here are its features3:

 

• Interface and Data Transfer
  • High - Speed Interface: It has a 12Gb/s SAS interface, which can provide fast data transfer speed and is suitable for high - performance storage applications.
  • Dual - Port Design: With 2 internal SAS ports, it can be connected to SAS - based storage devices to meet the needs of different storage architectures. And through the SAS expander card, it can support eight internal physical links, expanding the connection capacity.
• Performance and Function
  • Large - Capacity Cache: It is equipped with a 2GB flash - backed write cache (FBWC), which can improve the write performance of the storage system. The FBWC uses a combination of high - speed DRAM memory and non - volatile flash memory. Writes are temporarily stored in the high - speed DRAM and then written to the hard disk drive, which can effectively reduce the write latency. In the event of a power failure or other disruptions, the contents of the write cache are automatically saved to the flash memory to ensure data integrity.
  • Rich RAID Support: It supports RAID levels such as 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, providing users with a variety of data protection and storage optimization options. Different RAID levels have different characteristics in terms of performance, reliability, and capacity utilization, which can meet the needs of different application scenarios.
• Hardware Specifications
  • Host Interface: It adopts the PCI - Express 3.0 x8 interface, which can provide high - speed data transmission channels between the RAID card and the server motherboard to ensure the efficient operation of data.
  • Form Factor: It is in the form of a plug - in card, which is suitable for installation in servers. The mezzanine design can save space in the server chassis and is convenient for integration with other components.
