// FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

A hardware RAID controller is a dedicated processor and memory that handles all RAID calculations independently of the host CPU. Unlike software RAID, which uses system resources, hardware RAID provides consistent high performance, advanced features like cache protection, and does not impact server CPU performance during RAID operations.
