Next-Generation High Port 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. The MegaRAID
SAS 9280-16i4e, with sixteen internal and four external ports, supports both internal drive storage
and external JBOD expansion for up to 240 SATA or SAS drives. With a large number of internal
ports, the 9280-16i4e connects up to 16 drives inside the server via direct connection or passive
backplane. Using the external SAS ports, multiple JBODs can be connected to a server, providing a
scalable and aordable solution for growing storage requirements.
6Gb/s SAS Performance Advantage
With data transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s per port, the MegaRAID SAS 9280-16i4e bring users new
features and improved performance, while continuing to support all the features of the previous
3Gb/s SATA+SAS generation. 6Gb/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 are designed to deliver signicant performance improvements in both read and write
applications as compared to their 3Gb/s predecessors.
Support for Advanced Software Options
The Avago family of 6Gb/s MegaRAID high port count controllers are designed to support advanced
software options that provide white box channel partners with enhanced performance and data
protection capabilities. These new software options can enable end users to address key business
challenges while helping to deliver a higher return on their IT investments. MegaRAID CacheCade™
software and MegaRAID FastPath™ software boost transactional I/O performance of solid state
disk congurations, while MegaRAID recovery software and MegaRAID SafeStore™ software enable
enhanced data protection and security.
