Industry’s First 8-Port Internal
SAS Controller
SAS Controller
The LSI SAS3080X-R card enables high-
throughput control to internal direct attach
storage (DAS) arrays through 8 internal 3Gb/s
ports, driving any number of Serial Attached
SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) devices. The
host bus adapter supports internal server
storage HDDs and enclosures by connecting
a 64-bit PCI-X 133MHz bus with 2 internal x4
SFF 8484 SAS connectors. The SAS3080X-R
provides 2400MB/s throughput; a significant
advantage over parallel SCSI and the maximum
internal bandwidth available for both SAS and
SATA drives.

Outperforming the Competition with LSI
SAS Integrated RAID
SAS Integrated RAID
As the performance leader in SCSI/SAS con-
trollers, the LSI SAS3080X-R leverages the LSI
SAS1068 controller ASIC’s advanced Fusion-MPT
architecture. While other SAS cards drive large
RAID software stacks between the host CPU
and controller, the LSI SAS3080X-R HBA utilizes
the embedded CPU in the LSI SAS1068 ASIC
to perform integrated RAID 0, 1, 1E and 10E
operations. By avoiding the PCI-X bus traffic
and reducing RAID code overhead, the LSI
SAS3080X-R offers the greatest internal READ/
WRITE performance available today.

Most Flexibility From An Internal
Storage Array
Storage Array
Flexibility is a key advantage of SAS when
considering compatibility with either SAS or
SATA drives. LSI maximizes flexibility by offering
eight internal SAS/SATA drive connects, allowing
integrators to build in large capacity tiered storage
arrays without leaving the server. By offering
two SFF8484 connectors, system builders can
run wide SAS ports to internal SFF or full size
drive enclosures. The flexibility of eight SAS ports
controlling an internal SAS/SATA drive configu-
ration saves cost while providing the necessary
performance for mission critical operation.

SAS Connectivity from the Serial IO Experts
The LSI SAS3080X-R is a part of the first generation
of Serial Attached SCSI controllers. Successful
implementation of these serial adapters is best
served with supplier experience and knowhow.
Having a supplier who fully understands the
physical, electrical and protocol requirements
of each new serial standard will reduce the time
for system bring-up and offer greater flexibility
in system topography.
