Battery Backup Unit (BBU, sold separately)
When you set your RAID array or HDD to utilize write back cache, you sacrifice
reliability for performance. Utilizing Write Through cache allows you to safe guard
your data from power related failures, but it will be much slower.
A BBU is primarily used to safe guard arrays utilizing write back cache. When a power
failure occurs, the battery will provide enough power to maintain the data in the cache
for however long the battery capacity is.
Attaching the BBU
The connection will be made directly on the RAID controller J6 pins.
