High Performance RAID Storage 
on Budget
AMCC’s 3ware 8006-2LP Serial ATA (SATA) RAID
controller economically delivers full-featured true
hardware RAID to servers and PC workstations.
The 3ware 8006-2LP is a half length low profile 
2-port controller. Combined with an advanced
RAID management feature set that includes
web-based, command-based, and API software
components, the 8006-2LP is the industry’s most
compelling SATA RAID solution for the budget-
conscious IT professional. Intelligently engi-
neered in close collaboration with third party
motherboard and drive manufacturers, the
3ware 8006-2LP sets the standard for seamless
integration.

True hardware RAID is a requirement in IT envi-
ronments where data availability is paramount.
All AMCC 3ware RAID controllers incorporate
onboard I/O offload processors to deliver true
hardware RAID. Software RAID schemes use the
system’s processor, exploit host memory, com-
promise reliability and potentially rob the system
of CPU cycles. The 3ware 8006-2LP supports RAID
levels 0, 1, and JBOD.

Managing RAID installations is simple with

3ware Disk Manager (3DM®), CLI, S.M.A.R.T. disk

monitoring and an integrated BIOS configuration

utility. 3DM software is a browser based man-
agement utility for easy local and remote array
management in Windows, Linux, and FreeBSD
O/S environments.

Serial ATA provides performance, reliability, ease
of configuration, and power consumption
advantages over parallel ATA, as well as signifi-
cant cost advantages over SCSI. SATA is a point-
to-point interface protocol designed for
improved scalability to meet the performance
demands of servers and PC workstations. Each
device is attached directly to the host to deliver
1.5 Gbits/sec (150 MB) bandwidth to each drive
via thin, flexible, one meter SATA data cables.  

The 3ware 8006-2LP capitalizes on technical
advancements in the areas of hot plug capability,
signal integrity, reduced pin count, reduced
power requirements and longer, thinner cables
for simplifiedf routing.

The 8006-2LP RAID 

controller, with the advantages of Serial ATA 
connectivity,is a compelling solution for enter-
prise storage installations and PC workstations
alike.
