LSI Logic SAS9285-8E MegaRAID 8-Port PCIe 2.0 SFF-8088 SATA+SAS RAID Controller is a high-performance RAID controller designed for servers and workstations. It is a storage solution that allows users to manage and protect their data effectively. In this article, we will take an in-depth look at the features and benefits of this controller.
What is a RAID controllerBefore we dive into the features of the LSI Logic SAS9285-8E MegaRAID controller, let's briefly discuss what a RAID controller is. RAID stands for Redundant Array of Independent Disks. It is a technology that allows users to store data across multiple hard drives. The purpose of RAID is to improve performance, increase reliability, and provide data redundancy.
A RAID controller is a hardware device that manages the RAID array. It handles tasks such as data reads and writes, data parity calculations, and error correction. A RAID controller can be built into a motherboard or added as an expansion card.
Features of the LSI Logic SAS9285-8E MegaRAID controllerThe LSI Logic SAS9285-8E MegaRAID controller is a high-performance RAID controller that offers a range of features to meet the needs of server and workstation users. Let's take a look at some of the key features of this controller.
Eight SAS/SATA portsThe SAS9285-8E controller comes with eight SAS/SATA ports, allowing users to connect up to eight hard drives to the controller. This provides users with a high level of storage capacity, allowing them to store large amounts of data.
PCIe 2.0 interfaceThe controller is designed to be used with PCIe 2.0, which is a high-speed interface that provides users with fast data transfer speeds. The PCIe 2.0 interface also ensures that the controller is compatible with a wide range of server and workstation systems.
SFF-8088 connectorsThe SAS9285-8E controller uses SFF-8088 connectors, which are small form-factor connectors that provide a high level of reliability and signal integrity. These connectors are commonly used in SAS/SATA applications and are known for their high performance.
RAID levelsThe SAS9285-8E controller supports a range of RAID levels, including RAID 0, RAID 1, RAID 5, RAID 6, RAID 10, RAID 50, and RAID 60. Each RAID level offers a different level of data redundancy and performance, allowing users to choose the RAID level that best meets their needs.
Cache memoryThe SAS9285-8E controller comes with 1GB of cache memory, which provides users with a high level of performance. The cache memory is used to store frequently accessed data, which allows for faster data reads and writes.
Benefits of the LSI Logic SAS9285-8E MegaRAID controllerNow that we've looked at the features of the SAS9285-8E controller, let's explore some of the benefits of using this controller.
Improved performanceOne of the main benefits of using the SAS9285-8E controller is improved performance. The controller uses PCIe 2.0, which provides users with fast data transfer speeds. Additionally, the controller comes with cache memory, which allows for faster data reads and writes.
Increased reliabilityAnother benefit of using the SAS9285-8E controller is increased reliability. The controller supports a range of RAID levels, which provides users with data redundancy. This means that if one hard drive fails, the data can be recovered from another hard drive in the RAID array.
Flexible storage optionsThe SAS9285-8E controller allows users to connect up to eight hard drives, providing them with a high level
