Next-Generation SATA+SAS RAID
MegaRAID SATA+SAS controllers provide a new level of reliability, availability, and performance
to businesses that are facing storage challenges driven by unprecedented data growth. With data
transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s per port, the MegaRAID SAS 9260-4i brings users new features and
improved performance, while continuing to support all the features of the previous 3Gb/s SATA+SAS
generation. This value line controller, ideal for cost-sensitive 1U and 2U server applications, employs
the latest in RAID-on-Chip technology, complies with the PCI Express 2.0 specication, and provides
additional data security using SafeStore encryption services.
6Gb/s SAS Performance Advantage
66Gb/s SAS is designed for backward compatibility with 3Gb/s SAS as well as with 6Gb/s and
3Gb/s SATA hard drives. Regardless of the drive speed, 6Gb/s MegaRAID controllers will deliver
signicant performance improvements in both read and write applications as compared to their
3Gb/s predecessors. Other new features of the 6Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS controllers include
greater signal integrity using Decision Feedback Equalization, support for more sophisticated SAS
topologies using Expander Self-discovery/Self-conguration, and additional safeguards to enhance
data protection.
SafeStore Encryption Services
Avago is pleased to introduce SafeStore encryption services, which include instant secure erase for
self-encrypting drives (SEDs). This technology represents a signicant step forward in securing a
drive’s data from any unauthorized access or modication resulting from theft, loss, or repurposing
of drives. Instant secure erase cryptographically erases an SED, whether it is 73GB or 1TB, in less than
a second. This allows for secure drive returns or reuse.
Intuitive RAID Management Utility
The MegaRAID Management Suite™ provides the essential software tools to eciently manage
MegaRAID products, whether deployed in an enterprise or small business. Avago oers a collection
of applications and tools including a pre-boot setup utility and a full spectrum of online RAID
management utilities. This suite of applications allow administrators to adjust SAS topology views
from the system host, controller and disk enclosure down to the logical and physical drive level.
Extending to enterprise deployments, these tools scale to easily congure, monitor and manage
RAID volumes locally or over the LAN network.
