Dell UX511 PERC 320 Ultra320 SCSI 64MB Cache Storage Controller Card

Product Description

The Dell UX511, identified as a PERC 320 controller, is a high-performance storage adapter designed to manage SCSI-based storage devices. It supports the Ultra320 SCSI standard, which represents a significant advancement in SCSI technology, offering dual-channel capabilities and a maximum transfer rate of up to 320 MB/s per channel. This makes it suitable for demanding enterprise environments requiring fast and reliable access to storage. Equipped with 64MB of onboard cache memory, the PERC 320 controller accelerates data read and write operations by buffering frequently accessed data. This cache significantly improves the overall performance of connected storage devices, reducing latency and increasing throughput, which is critical for applications such as databases, virtualization, and high-transaction environments. The controller card utilizes a PCI-X interface, a high-speed version of the PCI bus designed for server and workstation applications that require greater bandwidth than standard PCI. This ensures that the controller can communicate efficiently with the host system, maximizing the performance potential of the Ultra320 SCSI interface and the connected storage devices. It is a robust solution for managing internal or external SCSI storage arrays.
