The Smart Array P711m Controller also includes an external capacitor pack (not shown), which
provides approximately 80 seconds of backup power for the DDR cache memory. This provides
sufficient duration to transfer the cached data from DDR memory to flash memory, where the data
remains indefinitely or until a controller retrieves the data.
