CISCO UCSC-MRAID12G-512 – Cisco 12Gbps SAS 512MB FBWC Cache module (Raid 0/1/5)

Detailed Description:

The CISCO UCSC-MRAID12G-512 introduces a 512MB Flash-Backed Write Cache (FBWC) module, enhancing the Cisco 12G SAS Modular Raid Controller’s performance within Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) servers. Designed to support RAID levels 0, 1, and 5, this module is an optimal solution for organizations looking to improve their storage system’s speed and reliability without the need for extensive data redundancy offered by higher RAID levels. The 512MB FBWC module provides an effective means of protecting against data loss in the event of power failure or system hang-ups by ensuring that data in transit is not lost but rather preserved until it can be safely written to the storage media. This module is particularly beneficial in scenarios where write latency can impact application performance, as it helps to smooth out burst writes and improve overall system efficiency. Its lower capacity makes it a cost-effective choice for small to medium-sized enterprises or specific applications where the workload does not require extensive write caching but still benefits from enhanced data integrity and performance.
