RAID Controllers
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. The MegaRAID
SAS 9280-4i4e, with four internal and four external ports, supports both internal drive storage and
external JBOD expansion. 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 9280-4i4e 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 will deliver signicant performance improvements in both read and write applications as
compared to their 3Gb/s predecessors.
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 provides instant data protection via cryptographic erase. Whether the
drive is 73GB or 1TB, this feature will delete the existing encryption key and regenerate a new data
encryption key in less than a second, enabling drives to be returned, retired, sold or reused securely.
