Features of Dell PowerEdge PERC 6/i SAS RAID Controller Adapter Card PCI-E YW946
The Dell PowerEdge PERC 6/i SAS RAID Controller Adapter Card with part number PCI-E YW946 is a RAID controller designed for Dell PowerEdge servers. It is a hardware component that provides RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) functionality to manage multiple hard drives or solid-state drives in a server for improved data redundancy, performance, and fault tolerance.
Key features of the PERC 6/i SAS RAID Controller include:
-
RAID support: It supports various RAID levels, such as RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, and RAID 50. These RAID levels offer different combinations of data striping, mirroring, and parity for improved performance and data protection.
-
SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) support: The controller uses SAS technology to connect to the storage devices. SAS is a high-speed interface that allows for faster data transfer rates and better reliability compared to SATA (Serial ATA).
-
Battery backup unit (BBU): Some versions of the PERC 6/i may come with a BBU. The BBU provides power to the RAID controller cache memory, allowing the controller to save cached data to the disk in the event of a power failure. This helps prevent data loss and improves data integrity.
-
PCI-Express interface: The card uses the PCI Express (PCI-E) interface, which provides high-speed data transfer between the RAID controller and the server's motherboard.
