RAID-on-Chip 800MHz, 512MB ECC DDR2-800 SDRAM, PCIe 2.0, 1 x SFF-8088, 8 x SAS/SATA HDD, RAID 0/1/10/3/5/6/Single Disk / JBOD SAS builds on parallel SCSI by providing higher performance, improving data availability, and simplifying system design. The SAS interface supports both SAS disk drives for data-intensive applications and Serial ATA (SATA) drives for low-cost bulk storage of reference data. The ARC-1213-4i/ARC-1223-8i support directly attach 4/8 SAS ports via 1/2 internal SFF-8087 connector. The ARC-1213-4x/ARC-1223-8x support directly attach 4/8 SAS ports via 1/2 external SFF-8088 connector. Each port on the SAS controllers supports SAS and/or SATA devices.
