The 3ware 9650SE-4LPML is a hardware RAID controller designed for internal storage expansion in desktop or server environments. It connects via PCI Express and supports up to four SATA drives, making it ideal for users looking to implement RAID configurations for data redundancy or performance improvements. The controller includes a 256MB DDR2 cache, which helps improve read and write speeds during intensive operations. Its low-profile design allows it to fit into smaller cases without requiring full-length expansion slots.
This RAID controller supports multiple RAID levels including 0, 1, 5, 10, JBOD, and single disk configurations. It is suitable for users who need reliable data storage solutions with options for performance or redundancy. The controller also features S.M.A.R.T drive monitoring, which helps in early detection of potential drive failures. It supports both SATA 150 Mbps and 3.0 Gbps interfaces, ensuring compatibility with a range of older and newer drives.
The card uses a PCI Express x4, x8, or x16 interface, providing flexibility in installation depending on the motherboard's available slots. It is compatible with systems that support PCI Express and has a low-profile form factor, making it suitable for compact builds. The included SATA cable allows connection to up to four drives, and the card supports battery backup unit (BBU) for data protection during power outages or system crashes.
The controller is RoHS compliant and designed for use in environments where space is limited. It is ideal for small businesses or enthusiasts who need a reliable RAID solution without the complexity of software-based configurations. However, it may not be suitable for high-end server environments that require more advanced features or larger drive arrays.
