With a data transfer rate of 6Gbps, the Dell PERC H700 RAID Controller enables users to process and transfer data at a much faster rate compared to older RAID controllers. This improved workflow allows for quicker access to critical information and reduces the time required for data-intensive tasks, resulting in increased productivity and efficiency.

Optimized Storage Performance

The high data transfer rate of 6Gbps ensures that the Dell PERC H700 RAID Controller can fully utilize the capabilities of modern storage devices, such as solid-state drives (SSDs) and high-capacity hard drives. By providing a fast and reliable connection, this controller maximizes the performance of these storage devices, allowing users to take full advantage of their capabilities.

Future-Proofing

Investing in a RAID controller with a high data transfer rate is crucial for future-proofing your server infrastructure. As technology continues to advance and data storage requirements increase, having a controller that can handle higher data transfer rates ensures that your system will remain efficient and capable of meeting future demands. The Dell PERC H700 RAID Controller's 6Gbps data transfer rate provides users with peace of mind, knowing that their system is equipped to handle future storage needs.

Supported Drives

The Dell PERC H700 RAID Controller offers support for both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) drives, providing users with flexibility when it comes to choosing their storage solutions. This compatibility with multiple drive types ensures that users can select the most suitable drives for their specific requirements.

Versatility

By supporting both SAS and SATA drives, the Dell PERC H700 RAID Controller caters to a wide range of storage needs. SAS drives are known for their high-performance capabilities, making them ideal for demanding applications and workloads that require fast data access. On the other hand, SATA drives offer larger capacities at a more affordable price point, making them a popular choice for general-purpose storage.

Increased Storage Options

The compatibility with SAS and SATA drives expands the storage options available to users. This allows businesses to customize their storage infrastructure based on their specific needs, whether it's prioritizing performance or cost-efficiency. The Dell PERC H700 RAID Controller's support for both drive types ensures that users can create a storage solution that perfectly aligns with their requirements.

Easy Integration

Integrating the Dell PERC H700 RAID Controller into an existing server system is straightforward, thanks to its support for both SAS and SATA drives. Users can easily connect their preferred drives to the controller without worrying about compatibility issues or limitations. This ease of integration reduces downtime and simplifies the upgrade process, allowing businesses to quickly take advantage of the benefits offered by this RAID controller.

Cache Size

The Dell PERC H700 RAID Controller features a generous 512MB cache, enhancing its performance and reliability. The cache size plays a crucial role in improving system responsiveness, data protection, and overall storage performance.

Faster Data Access

A larger cache size allows the Dell PERC H700 RAID Controller to store frequently accessed data in memory, reducing the need to retrieve information from the physical disk. This results in faster data access times, enabling applications and processes to run more smoothly and efficiently. The 512MB cache size ensures that commonly accessed data is readily available, minimizing latency and improving overall system performance.

Data Protection

The cache size also plays a vital role in data protection. In the event of a power loss or system failure, the cache acts as a temporary storage space where data can be safely stored until normal operation is restored. The larger cache size of 512MB allows for more data to be safely held in memory, reducing the risk of data loss and ensuring that critical information remains intact.

Improved Write Performance

A larger cache size significantly improves write performance, especially when dealing with small random writes. By temporarily storing write requests in the cache, the Dell PERC H700 RAID Controller can optimize and consolidate these requests before committing them to the physical drives. This improves overall write performance, resulting in faster data transfers and reduced latency.

Part Number

The Dell PERC H700 RAID Controller is identified by its unique part number, which in this case is 342-1198. The part number serves as a reference and identifier for this specific RAID controller model, allowing users to easily identify and locate the product when needed.

Identification and Ordering

When it comes to purchasing or replacing a RAID controller, having the correct part number is crucial. The part number ensures that users receive the exact model they require, eliminating any confusion or compatibility issues. By using the part numbers 342-1198, users can confidently order and install the Dell PERC H700 RAID Controller with the assurance that they have obtained the correct product for their server system.

Technical Support and Documentation

The part number also plays a vital role in obtaining technical support and accessing related documentation. When contacting technical support or searching for resources online, providing the part number ensures that users receive accurate and relevant information specific to their RAID controller model. This simplifies troubleshooting processes and allows users to quickly resolve any issues they may encounter.
