The SAS RAID Controller LSI Logic MegaRAID 9280-16i4e is a high-performance storage controller designed for servers and data centers. It supports multiple RAID levels including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, and JBOD, offering flexibility in data protection and performance optimization. The controller is ideal for users who require reliable storage solutions with the ability to scale as their needs grow.
With sixteen internal and four external ports, this controller allows for connecting up to 240 SATA or SAS drives. The internal ports can be used directly or through a passive backplane, while the external ports support JBOD expansion. This makes it suitable for environments where storage scalability is essential without the need for complex configurations.
The controller features a PCIe 2.0 x8 interface, ensuring compatibility with modern server motherboards. It includes 512MB of cache memory, which helps improve performance by reducing latency during read and write operations. The design is compact and built for reliability, making it easy to install in most server chassis.
Setup involves installing the card into an available PCIe slot and configuring the RAID levels through the provided software tools. The controller comes with necessary drivers and management utilities to simplify integration into existing systems. Users should ensure their server supports PCIe 2.0 and has sufficient power supply capacity for the additional hardware.
This controller is well-suited for small to medium-sized businesses or departments that need a cost-effective way to expand storage capabilities. It can be used in virtualization environments, database servers, or any application requiring high availability and data redundancy.
