Mylex NY4X40-60TABS1A 16MB SIMM for USE WITH DAC960PTL

Product Description

The Mylex NY4X40-60TABS1A is a 16MB SIMM (Single In-line Memory Module) specifically designed to function as cache memory for the Mylex DAC960PTL RAID controller. RAID controllers often utilize onboard cache memory to significantly speed up disk I/O operations. This cache acts as a high-speed buffer, storing frequently accessed data and commands, thereby reducing latency and improving the overall performance and throughput of the storage subsystem. In the context of a RAID controller like the DAC960PTL, this 16MB SIMM is crucial for optimizing disk array performance. It allows the controller to handle read and write requests more efficiently, which is particularly beneficial in server environments where storage performance is critical for application responsiveness and data access speeds. The SIMM form factor is a common type of memory module used in older computer systems and add-in cards. Compatibility with the Mylex DAC960PTL is the primary characteristic of this module. It is engineered to meet the specific voltage, timing, and pinout requirements of that particular RAID controller. Using the correct cache module ensures the stability and optimal performance of the RAID array. The 'NY4X40-60TABS1A' part number uniquely identifies this specific cache module for this RAID controller.
