The 3ware 9750-8i SAS RAID controller is a high-performance storage solution designed for servers and workstations that require reliable data management and fast access to large volumes of information. It supports multiple RAID levels including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, and 50, making it suitable for environments where data redundancy and performance are critical. The controller is ideal for businesses dealing with growing data needs, offering scalability and compatibility with both SATA and SAS drives.
With a PCIe 2.0 x8 interface, the 3ware 9750-8i ensures high-speed data transfer between the storage devices and the system. It supports up to 8 ports, allowing for the connection of multiple drives in a single configuration. The controller features a 6Gb/s SAS interface, which is backward compatible with older 3Gb/s SAS and SATA drives. This compatibility ensures that existing storage infrastructure can be upgraded without replacing all components.
The controller includes 512MB of onboard memory, which helps in managing large data sets efficiently and reduces latency during read and write operations. It is designed to fit into standard server chassis with a PCIe slot, making installation straightforward. The build quality is robust, ensuring reliability in demanding environments. The controller also supports advanced features like hot-swapping and online capacity expansion, which are essential for maintaining uptime in mission-critical systems.
Setup involves installing the card into an available PCIe slot and configuring the RAID array through the provided software or BIOS tools. The package typically includes the controller card, necessary drivers, and configuration utilities. Users should ensure their system has a compatible PCIe slot and sufficient power supply to support the additional hardware. Regular firmware updates are recommended to maintain optimal performance and security.
