In the realm of data storage and management, the LSI Logic 9266-4I Megaraid Controller Card stands as a crucial component. This controller card, with its advanced features, plays a pivotal role in ensuring efficient data handling and storage capabilities. Let's delve into the intricacies of the LSI Logic 9266-4I Megaraid Controller Card, exploring its key specifications and functionalities.
Key Features4-Port Serial-Attached SCSI (SAS) 6GBPS SupportWith its 4-port SAS 6GBPS support, the Megaraid Controller Card facilitates high-speed data transfer between the connected storage devices and the system. The Serial-Attached SCSI technology ensures a reliable and efficient connection, making it suitable for demanding storage applications.
1GB Cache for Enhanced PerformanceThe inclusion of a 1GB cache is a standout feature of the LSI Logic 9266-4I Megaraid Controller Card. This cache serves as a temporary storage buffer, significantly improving data access speeds and overall system performance. It acts as a bridge between the fast-paced processing power of the computer and the relatively slower storage devices.
SATA 6GBPS CompatibilityIn addition to SAS support, the controller card is also compatible with SATA 6GBPS, providing flexibility in connecting various storage devices. This compatibility ensures that the card can seamlessly integrate with a wide range of storage options, catering to diverse user needs.
Peripheral Component Interconnect Express (PCIE) 2.0 x8 InterfaceThe use of the PCIE 2.0 x8 interface speaks to the card's ability to handle high data bandwidth. This ensures that the controller card can keep up with the demands of modern storage systems, providing a smooth and efficient data transfer experience.
MD2 Low Profile DesignThe MD2 low-profile design adds a layer of versatility to the Megaraid Controller Card. This design makes it suitable for a variety of system configurations, including those with space constraints. The low profile form factor doesn't compromise performance, making it an ideal choice for compact systems.
Performance and Scalability- The 9266-4I LSI Logic MegaRAID 1GB Cache 4-Port SAS 6GBPS SATA 6GBPS PCI-E 2.0 x8 Controller Card is designed for high-performance and scalable storage solutions. It features a 1GB cache and supports SAS and SATA hard drives and solid-state drives with a maximum data transfer rate of 6 Gbps.
- The controller card supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, and it also supports the use of multiple controller cards for increased performance and scalability. Additionally, it supports the use of LSI's MegaRAID Storage Manager software, which allows for easy monitoring and management of the storage array.
- The 9266-4I controller card requires a PCI-E 2.0 slot with a minimum of 8 lanes (x8) to function properly. It also supports the use of LSI's FastPath software, which allows for increased performance in high-I/O environments.
- The 9266-4I LSI Logic Megaraid 1GB Cache 4-Port SAS 6GBPS SATA 6GBPS PCI-E 2.0 x8 Controller Card is compatible with a variety of operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and VMware. It is also compatible with a variety of server platforms, including Dell, HP, and IBM.
- In terms of interoperability, the 9266-4I controller card supports both SAS and SATA hard drives and solid-state drives, and it is compatible with RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10. It also supports LSI MegaRAID software, which allows for easy monitoring and management of the RAID array.
- It is important to note that the 9266-4I controller card requires a PCI-E 2.0 slot with at least 8 lanes (x8) to function properly, so it may not be compatible with older server platforms that only have PCI-E 1.0 slots. Additionally, the controller card has a maximum cache size of 1GB, so it may not be suitable for large-scale storage solutions that require more cache.
