PERC4-Single Channel Info needed

[TheStressFactor]

Hello all,

Does anyone have or know where I can find a spec sheet for the Perc4 Single Channel Controller? I would like to see all the specs for this? I was wondering if anyone knows whether this card can do a write to cache?

Also, does anyone know if this is the ideal card to get optimal performance for disk stripe mirroring? I plan to have 8 drives in a dell poweredge 4600 and want to make sure I config it correctly.

Any insight, suggestions, or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Patrick

You have to love Dell for keeping things a mystery.

With 8 drives I would go with a dual channel controller., especially if these drives are large capacity.

Hope your not talking about a zero

For the info given it seems to be the LSIlogic MegaRAID SCSI 320-1 or the MegaRAID SCSI 320-1LP , but I would check with Dell. If it is the Lsi card, it can do a write-back. Lsi has pictures of their cards on the site at Lsilogic.com, match it up. Lsi also has down-loadable documentation, manuals
