CacheVault technology provides RAID controller cache protection using NAND flash memory and a supercapacitor. In the event of a power or server failure, CacheVault technology automatically transfers cached data from the DRAM cache to flash. Once power is restored, the data in the NAND flash is copied back into cache until it can be flushed to the disk drives. This technology eliminates the need for Lithium-ION battery backups that are traditionally used to protect cache memory on PCIe RAID controllers.

	CacheVault Technology	Standard Battery Backup
Maintenance schedule	None needed over the life of the controller	Battery should be replaced every 1-2 years; Battery monitoring required
Maintenance impact	None	Server must be opened (removed from rack) and should be taken offline while the battery is being replaced
Data recoverable for:	3+ years	Up to 72 hours, less if battery is degraded
Charge time	Capacitor charges in seconds while the system boots	4.5 to 9 hours
Time to cache protection	Immediate	24 to 48 hours for initial capacity test
Inventory requirements	None	Need to maintain at least a small inventory of emergency replacements
Disposal issues	None	Need to safely dispose of hazardous battery material
