Description

The HP 355895-002 Smart Array SCSI Controller is a critical component for servers requiring reliable and high-performance storage solutions. This controller leverages the PCI-X interface, offering significantly higher bandwidth compared to older PCI standards, which is essential for demanding I/O operations. It is specifically designed to interface with SCSI drives, including hard disk drives and tape drives, providing a robust platform for data storage and backup. This controller supports various RAID levels, including RAID 0 for striping (performance), RAID 1 for mirroring (redundancy), and RAID 5 for striping with parity (balanced performance and redundancy). The inclusion of support for Battery-Backed Write Cache (BBWC) is a key feature, as it protects data in the cache from loss during unexpected power outages, thereby enhancing data integrity and reducing the risk of data corruption. This feature is particularly important in enterprise environments where uptime and data safety are paramount. Management of the 355895-002 is typically handled through HP's Array Configuration Utility (ACU) or similar server management tools. These utilities allow administrators to configure RAID arrays, monitor drive health, perform firmware updates, and manage storage resources efficiently. Its compatibility with a wide range of HP ProLiant servers makes it a versatile choice for upgrading or building server infrastructure that relies on SCSI storage.
