General Description
The MegaRAID 6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers bring 6.0 Gb/s Serial 
Attached SCSI and 3.0 Gb/s SATA II performance to host adapter, 
workstation, and server designs. The controllers support internal storage 
devices and external storage devices, which allow you to use a system 
that supports enterprise-class SAS drives and desktop-class SATA II 
drives. Each MegaRAID 6Gb/s SAS RAID controller can connect to 
drives directly and can use expanders to connect to additional drives. 
Simplified cabling between devices is an additional benefit.
