RAID Controller RS3FC044, Single
Entry-level low-cost 4 Internal and 4 External Ports with 12G SAS-3 Mirroring, Striping and JBOD.
- One internal mini-SAS HD SFF8643 SAS/SATA connectors for connectivity inside the server.
- One external mini-SAS HD SFF8644 SAS/SATA connectors for connectivity to external storage.
- x8 PCI Express* Generation 3 interface for fast communication with the server board.
- LSI* SAS3008 IOC controller providing SAS 3.0 technology including 12Gb/s data transfer and compatibility with SAS or SATA drives.
- Blinking green heartbeat LED to indicate the card is ready and capable for general activity.
- Essential performance and scalability: Supplies PCI Express* Gen 3 architecture with over 1 million IOPs; employs SAS/JBOD connectivity with support of up to 244 physical devices.
- Internal and external connectivity: Four internal ports allow for a RAID array within a system. Four external ports allow for connecting to a JBOD (Just a Bunch of Disks) or a SAS switch.
- Cost effective data protection: Provides low-cost RAID 0, 1, and 1E for entry-level server and workstation environments where high-performance and reliable data protection are required.
- SAS or SATA Storage: Connect SAS or SATA devices within the array. Use SAS drives for speed, reliability and scalability; use high-capacity SATA drives for budget-friendly storage.
