Overview The 6-Port SATA RAID Controller is a 64-bit, 66-MHz PCI array controller for entry level hardware-based fault tolerance. Utilizing the 6 internal Serial ATA ports of the SATA RAID Controller allows you to configure up to 6 internal hard drives to store up to 1.50 TB of storage. What's New Models Now supported on the HP ProLiant ML350 G4p, and the HP ProLiant ML310 G2 servers. RAID Controller 372953-B21 DA - 12091 Worldwide Version 4 January 13, 2006 Page 1
Standard Features Key Features 64-MB memory optimizes performance and data throughput, for RAID and read cache SATA technology delivers data bandwidth up to 1.5 Gb/s bandwidth per port 6 SATA ports supports up to six SATA hard drives Hot-plug drive and LED support (with supporting server infrastructure) Online capacity expansion HP Storage Manager: Online GUI based controller management and configuration Ports 6 Ports for internal hard drives, supports up to a maximum of 1.50 TB (6 x 250 GB 1" SATA HDD) Cache Memory 64MB for RAID and Read Memory RAID Levels 0, 1, 1+0, 5 Bus Type 64-bit, 66 MHz PCI Fault Prevention Keeps data available and server running while a failed drive is being replaced; several fault tolerance configurations are supported including: Distributed Data Guarding (RAID 5): This allocates parity data across multiple drives and allows simultaneous write operations. It is recommended for up to 6 hard drives. Drive Mirroring (RAID 1, 1+0): This allocates half of the drive array to data and half to mirrored data, providing two copies of every file. Drive Migration and Roaming: This feature ensures that the system can identify the data on a drive and insert it appropriately into an array in the event that the drives are inserted incorrectly. Capacity Given the internal server storage need for low cost capacity expansion, the 6-port SATA RAID controller offers: Six SATA ports supporting up to 6 internal disk drives Up to 1.50 TB of storage per PCI slot Online capacity expansion RAID Level Migration to increase the size of an array Performance SATA 1.5 Gb/s per port High-performance 64-bit architecture Controller Management RAID configuration through a ROM based utility accessible during Server startup.
