Product Description
The DELL HN359 is a PERC 5/i SAS controller that distinguishes itself by operating in a non-RAID mode. This means it provides direct access to connected SAS drives, treating each drive individually rather than managing them as a redundant or performance-enhanced array. This mode is often referred to as JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks) and is useful in scenarios where software-based RAID is preferred, or when direct, unmanaged access to individual drives is required. Leveraging the PCI Express interface, the HN359 offers a high-speed connection to the server's motherboard, ensuring efficient data transfer. It supports the SAS 3Gb/s interface, allowing it to connect to a variety of SAS drives. This controller is a straightforward solution for adding SAS connectivity to a system without the overhead or complexity of hardware RAID. The HN359 is a practical choice for specific server configurations, such as those used for direct-attached storage, boot drives where RAID is not needed, or systems where the operating system or a separate hardware RAID card handles all storage management. Its simplicity and direct access capabilities make it a functional component for Dell servers requiring basic SAS connectivity.
