Most Economical SAS/SATA HBA in
the Market Today
the Market Today
The LSISAS3041E-R card offers leading-edge
SAS and SATA RAID and non-RAID data off-load
at a fraction of the cost for competing products.
The low-cost HBA supports medium capacity
internal server storage applications by connect-
ing a 4-lane 2.5Gb/s PCI Express bus with four
SAS/SATA ports through SATA 1x connectors.
Cost advantages over parallel SCSI are realized
by optimizing the HDD array between SAS and
SATA drive types, utilizing the lower-cost SATA
drives for backup while using the feature-rich
SAS drives for mission-critical applications.

RAID Performance
RAID Performance
As the performance leader in SCSI/SAS
controllers, the LSISAS3041E-R leverages the
LSISAS1064E controller ASIC’s advanced
Fusion-MPT™ architecture. While other SAS cards
drive large RAID software stacks between the
host CPU and controller, the LSISAS3041E-R
HBA utilizes the embedded CPU in the
controllers, the LSISAS3041E-R leverages the
LSISAS1064E controller ASIC’s advanced
Fusion-MPT™ architecture. While other SAS cards
drive large RAID software stacks between the
host CPU and controller, the LSISAS3041E-R
HBA utilizes the embedded CPU in the
LSISAS1064E ASIC to perform integrated RAID
0, 1, 1E and 10E operations. By reducing RAID
code overhead, the LSISAS3041E-R is first in
READ/ WRITE operation execution.

The LSISAS3041E-R is a part of the first generation
of fully serialized Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
controllers. Successful implementation of these
serial adapters is best served with supplier
experience and know-how. 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 to-
pography. LSI has supplied leading edge serial
technology to systems throughout the world
for over six generations, making LSI the most
experienced enabler of serial interconnect for
storage in the world. Integrators can be assured
that their LSI adapter is providing the most ad-
vanced and robust serial technology available.
