This is an external RAID controller card designed for high-performance storage solutions. It features an 8-port Mini SAS interface and is compatible with PCIe slots, making it suitable for servers and workstations that require fast and reliable data access. The card supports dual SFF-8088 connectors, allowing for the connection of multiple SAS or SATA drives in a RAID configuration. It is ideal for users who need to manage large volumes of data with redundancy and performance in mind.
The LSI SAS3801E controller is built for scalability and reliability, supporting various RAID levels such as 0, 1, 5, 6, and 10. It provides efficient data transfer rates and ensures data integrity through advanced error correction features. The card is designed to handle high I/O operations, making it a good choice for environments that require continuous data access, such as virtualization platforms or media servers. Its compact form factor allows it to fit into systems with limited space while still delivering robust performance.
This controller card is compatible with a range of operating systems including Windows, Linux, and VMware. It requires a PCIe x8 slot for installation and works with SAS or SATA drives that support the SFF-8088 interface. Users should ensure their system has sufficient power supply capacity to support the connected drives and the controller card itself. The card does not include any drives or cabling, so users will need to purchase these separately based on their specific storage needs.
The card's design focuses on ease of integration into existing server or workstation setups. Its robust build ensures durability under continuous use, and the external RAID configuration allows for easy expansion or maintenance of storage arrays. However, users should be aware that this card is not suitable for consumer-grade systems and is intended for professional or enterprise environments where high availability and performance are critical.
