Description

The HP P220I-512MB-FBWC is a Smart Array P222 RAID controller designed to enhance storage performance and data protection in HP servers. It features a 6Gb/s SAS interface with two ports, allowing for connectivity to multiple SAS or SATA drives. This controller is particularly beneficial for entry-level to mid-range servers requiring reliable RAID capabilities for their storage subsystems. A key feature is the 512MB Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC). This cache technology significantly accelerates write operations by temporarily storing data before it is written to the drives. The 'flash-backed' aspect means that data in the cache is protected against power loss by a battery or capacitor, ensuring data integrity even in the event of an unexpected shutdown. This dramatically improves the performance of write-intensive workloads. Operating over a PCI Express x4 interface, the P222 controller supports essential RAID levels such as RAID 0 (striping for performance), RAID 1 (mirroring for redundancy), and RAID 10 (striped mirrors for performance and redundancy). It is a cost-effective solution for businesses needing to implement basic hardware RAID for their storage, providing a balance of performance, data protection, and affordability.
