LSI MegaRAID 9280-24i4e is a high-performance storage controller card designed for servers and workstations that require reliable and scalable storage solutions. It supports both SATA and SAS drives, making it suitable for environments with mixed storage needs. The card features a PCIe 2.0 interface, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of motherboards and systems. Its 6Gb/s transfer rate per port allows for faster data access and improved system performance, especially in high-demand applications.
The controller card includes 512MB of onboard cache memory, which helps reduce latency and improve overall performance during read and write operations. It supports various RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, providing flexibility in configuring storage arrays for different use cases. The card also includes features like auto-resume on rebuild and online capacity expansion, which help maintain system uptime and adapt to changing storage requirements without downtime.
The LSI MegaRAID 9280-24i4e comes with both internal and external connectors. It has six internal SFF-8087 mini-SAS ports for connecting internal drives and one external SFF-8088 mini-SAS port for connecting external JBODs. This makes it ideal for environments that need to scale their storage capacity without replacing the entire system. The card is backward compatible with 3Gb/s SAS and SATA drives, ensuring that existing investments in storage hardware can be utilized effectively.
Setup involves installing the card into a PCIe slot on the motherboard and connecting the drives using the provided mini-SAS cables. The controller card is typically used in server environments where data redundancy, performance, and scalability are critical. It is well-suited for businesses dealing with large volumes of data that require reliable storage solutions. However, it may not be suitable for consumer-grade systems due to its specialized nature and higher cost.
