Product Overview
The MegaRAID SAS 9361-4i RAID controller and the MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i RAID controller are PCI-Express® (PCIe®) 3.0, low-profile controllers with RAID control capability, based on the LSISAS3108 RAID On-a-Chip (ROC) device.
The MegaRAID SAS 9361-4i RAID controller uses 1 GB of DDR3 1866-MHz memory and controls four internal Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)/Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) ports through one SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD-4i internal connector.
The MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i RAID controller uses 1 GB of DDR3 1866-MHz memory and controls eight internal Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)/Serial Advanced Technology Attachment (SATA) ports through two SFF-8643 mini-SAS HD-4i internal connectors. This capability lets you use a system that supports both enterprise-class SAS drives and desktop-class SATA III drives.
These 12Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS RAID controllers are based on the LSI first-to-market SAS IC technology and proven MegaRAID technology. As third-generation PCIe RAID controllers, these controllers address the growing demand for increased data throughput and scalability requirements across midrange and enterprise-class server platforms. These RAID controllers provide these features:
12Gb/s SAS III performance
6Gb/s SATA III performance
Eight-lane 8-GT/s PCIe host interface
SAS technology brings a wealth of options and flexibility with the use of SAS devices and SATA devices within the same storage infrastructure. However, SAS devices and SATA devices bring individual characteristics that make each one a more suitable choice depending on your storage needs. MegaRAID products give you the flexibility to combine these two similar technologies on the same controller, within the same enclosure, and in the same virtual drive.
NOTE |
These RAID controllers support SATA II and SATA III technologies. |
