The DELL 405-AADU is an advanced H830 RAID controller providing high-speed 12Gb/s SAS connectivity and equipped with 2GB of non-volatile cache, facilitating faster data processing and enhanced system performance. Tailored for use with Dell PowerEdge servers, this PCI Express card supports a broad range of RAID levels, offering flexibility in configuring storage for optimal data protection and efficiency. The H830 is particularly well-suited for external storage scenarios, compatible with Dell's MD series of storage enclosures as well as third-party JBODs (just a bunch of disks). Its increased cache size over the H730 series allows for more complex RAID configurations and improved data handling capabilities, making it ideal for data centers and enterprises managing large volumes of data. The 405-AADU's features, such as self-encrypting drive (SED) management, ensure secure data storage, while its support for Dell's PowerEdge RAID Controller technologies enhances storage performance and reliability, catering to business-critical applications demanding high availability and throughput.
