Description
Product Overview of PCI-Express Host Bus Adapter
The L5-25413-18 LSI Logic 6GB MegaRAID 9271-8i is a PCI-Express host bus adapter that provides SAS/SATA connectivity to servers and workstations. This adapter card is designed to connect up to eight SAS or SATA hard drives or solid-state drives to a host computer system. The MegaRAID 9271-8i is a high-performance storage adapter that delivers exceptional performance, reliability, and scalability.
PCI-Express 3.0 x8 Interface
The LSI Logic 6GB MegaRAID 9271-8i adapter card features a PCI-Express 3.0 x8 interface that provides high-speed connectivity to the host computer system. The PCIe 3.0 x8 interface offers a maximum data transfer rate of 8 gigatransfers per second (GT/s), which is four times faster than the previous PCIe 2.0 standard. The PCIe 3.0 interface also supports backward compatibility with PCIe 2.0 and 1.0 standards.
SAS/SATA Connectivity
The MegaRAID 9271-8i adapter card supports both SAS (Serial Attached SCSI) and SATA (Serial ATA) hard drives and solid-state drives. SAS is a high-performance interface that is commonly used in enterprise storage systems. SAS drives offer faster data transfer rates and greater reliability than SATA drives. SATA drives, on the other hand, are more commonly used in desktop and consumer storage systems. The MegaRAID 9271-8i adapter card supports both SAS and SATA drives, giving users the flexibility to choose the type of drive that best suits their needs.
RAID Support
The MegaRAID 9271-8i adapter card supports RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. RAID is a technology that allows multiple hard drives to be combined into a single logical unit for the purpose of data redundancy, performance improvement, or both. The MegaRAID 9271-8i adapter card supports a wide range of RAID levels, giving users the flexibility to choose the level of redundancy and performance that best suits their needs.
Cache Memory
The MegaRAID 9271-8i adapter card features 1GB of DDR3 cache memory that helps to improve performance and reliability. The cache memory is used to store frequently accessed data, reducing the need to access the hard drives or solid-state drives for every data request. The cache memory also helps to protect data in the event of a power failure or other system error.
Virtualization Support
The MegaRAID 9271-8i adapter card supports virtualization technologies such as VMware ESXi, Microsoft Hyper-V, and Citrix XenServer. Virtualization allows multiple virtual machines to run on a single physical server, improving efficiency and reducing costs. The MegaRAID 9271-8i adapter card provides the storage connectivity needed to support virtualized environments.
Management Software
The MegaRAID 9271-8i adapter card comes with management software that allows users to monitor and manage the storage system. The management software provides a graphical user interface (GUI) that displays information such as disk status, RAID configuration, and performance statistics. The software also allows users to configure RAID arrays, set up alerts, and perform diagnostic tests.
