MegaRAID SATA+SAS Entry Product Line
LSI MegaRAID® SATA+SAS entry controller cards
allow small to medium business owners and
gaming enthusiasts to enjoy the latest RAID
technology at affordable prices with low power
consumption. This product line delivers trusted
MegaRAID reliability with minimal maintenance
effort. MegaRAID entry controller cards offer
users a straight-forward solution that includes
essential RAID levels and uncomplicated con-
figuration options. In addition, they are able to
connect to SATA and SAS hard disk drives and
solid state drives, allowing for tiered storage that
optimizes cost and performance. SAS drives are
optimal when speed and reliability are of the
utmost concern while SATA drives are appropri-
ate when capacity and cost are more important.
MegaRAID entry controllers cover the spectrum
of tiered storage requirements for cost-sensitive
applications that require robust data protection.

6Gb/s SAS Performance Advantage
6Gb/s SAS is designed for backward com-
patibility with 3Gb/s SAS as well as with
6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SATA hard drives. Regardless
of the drive speed, 6Gb/s MegaRAID controllers
will deliver significant performance improve-
ments in both read and write applications
as compared to their 3Gb/s predecessors.
Other new features of 6Gb/s MegaRAID
SATA+SAS controllers include greater signal
integrity using Decision Feedback Equalization,
support for more sophisticated SAS topologies
using Expander Self-discovery/Self-configu-
ration, and additional safeguards to enhance
data protection.
