Dell KKFKC-WB Perc H810 SAS 6Gb/s PCI Express 2.0 1GB Cache NVME RAID Controller Card

Product Description

The Dell KKFKC-WB is a Dell PowerEdge RAID Controller (PERC) H810, a high-performance hardware RAID controller designed for Dell servers. This card provides robust storage management capabilities, supporting SAS and SATA drives at a 6Gb/s interface speed, ensuring efficient data throughput. A significant feature is its 1GB of onboard cache memory, which accelerates read and write operations by buffering data, thereby enhancing overall system performance, especially for I/O-intensive applications. The controller offloads RAID processing from the host CPU, dedicating its own processor to manage complex RAID calculations. This specific model, the H810, is often an external controller, indicated by the 'KKFKC-WB' part number and the mention of NVMe support, suggesting it's designed to connect to external storage arrays or enclosures that might house SAS, SATA, or NVMe drives. It utilizes the PCI Express 2.0 x8 interface, providing ample bandwidth for high-speed data transfers required by modern storage solutions. The controller supports a comprehensive suite of RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, allowing administrators to configure storage arrays for various needs, balancing performance, data redundancy, and capacity. The PERC H810 is a reliable choice for enterprise environments demanding high availability and data protection. Its hardware RAID capabilities ensure that data integrity is maintained even in the event of drive failures. The controller's ability to manage different drive types, including NVMe, positions it as a versatile solution for environments that require a mix of storage technologies. It is typically managed through Dell's OpenManage suite or directly via the server's BIOS/UEFI interface, providing administrators with tools for configuration, monitoring, and maintenance.
