The 9212-4I4E LSI Logic SAS RAID Controller is a high-performance RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) controller used in servers and workstations. It is designed to provide reliable data protection and enhanced storage management capabilities for SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) hard drives. The controller is a PCIe (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) X8 card that supports up to eight SAS or SATA drives, making it an ideal solution for businesses and organizations that require scalable storage solutions.
Serial Attached SCSI (SAS)Serial Attached SCSI is a type of computer interface used for connecting storage devices such as hard disk drives and solid-state drives to a computer. SAS provides faster data transfer rates and higher scalability compared to SATA. SAS uses a point-to-point connection between the storage device and the controller, which means each device has a dedicated connection to the controller. This allows for higher bandwidth and greater reliability compared to SATA, which uses a shared connection between multiple devices.
Serial ATA/600 (SATA)Serial ATA (SATA) is another type of computer interface used for connecting storage devices to a computer. SATA is a popular interface for consumer-grade hard drives and solid-state drives. SATA provides high-speed data transfer rates and is easy to install and use. The SATA interface has undergone several upgrades over the years, with the latest version being SATA 3.0, which supports a data transfer rate of up to 6 Gb/s (gigabits per second).
PCI Express X8PCI Express (Peripheral Component Interconnect Express) is a high-speed computer interface used for connecting various components to a computer's motherboard. PCI Express provides faster data transfer rates compared to its predecessor, PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect). The PCIe X8 interface used by the 9212-4I4E LSI Logic SAS RAID Controller provides up to 8 lanes for data transfer, which allows for high bandwidth and low latency.
RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks)RAID (Redundant Array of Inexpensive Disks) is a data storage technology that uses multiple hard disk drives to provide data redundancy and improved performance. RAID works by splitting data across multiple drives, which improves data access speeds and protects against data loss in case of a drive failure. There are several types of RAID configurations, with the most common being RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, and RAID 6.
Features of 9212-4I4E LSI Logic SAS RAID ControllerThe 9212-4I4E LSI Logic SAS RAID Controller is a powerful storage solution with several features designed to enhance data protection and storage management capabilities. Some of the key features of the controller are:
Support for SAS and SATA Drives
The 9212-4I4E LSI Logic SAS RAID Controller supports both SAS and SATA drives, allowing businesses and organizations to use a combination of both drive types in their storage infrastructure. This provides greater flexibility and scalability, as organizations can choose the most suitable drive type based on their specific needs.
PCI Express X8 Interface
The 9212-4I4E LSI Logic SAS RAID Controller uses a PCIe X8 interface, which provides up to 8 lanes for data transfer. This allows for high bandwidth and low latency, which is essential for applications that require high-speed data transfer.
