Dell KMCCD PERC H730 SATA/600 12Gb/s SAS 1GB PCIe Raid Controller

Product Description

The Dell KMCCD, identified as a PERC H730 RAID controller, is a high-performance adapter designed to manage storage devices and provide advanced data redundancy and performance optimization for Dell PowerEdge servers. This controller utilizes a PCIe interface for high-speed communication with the server's motherboard. It supports both SATA/600 and 12Gb/s SAS interfaces, offering broad compatibility with a wide range of hard drives and SSDs, including enterprise-grade SAS drives that deliver superior performance and reliability. With 1GB of onboard cache memory, the H730 controller significantly accelerates I/O operations by temporarily storing frequently accessed data. This cache is further protected by a Battery Backup Unit (BBU) or CacheVault module (depending on the specific revision), which ensures that data in the cache is not lost in the event of a sudden power outage or system failure. 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 based on their specific needs for performance, redundancy, or a balance of both. This PERC H730 controller is an essential component for businesses that rely on data integrity and high availability. By offloading RAID calculations from the server's CPU to dedicated hardware, it frees up system resources and improves overall server performance. The KMCCD part number signifies a specific configuration or revision of the PERC H730, ensuring compatibility with particular Dell server models and providing robust data protection and storage management capabilities.
