6Gb/s SATA+SAS Advantage
The LSI SAS 9211-4i host bus adapter (HBA)
provides the greatest available throughput to
internal server storage arrays through eight
internal 6Gb/s ports, driving up to 256 SAS and
SATA physical devices. This HBA offers dynamic
SAS functionality, including SATA compatibility.
Utilizing an SFF8087 Mini-SAS connector, the
low-profile SAS 9211-4i is an excellent fit for 1U
and 2U servers.

LSI SATA+SAS HBAs are able to connect to SATA
and SAS hard disk drives and solid state drives,
allowing for tiered storage that optimizes costs
and performance. SAS drives are optimal when
speed and reliability are of the utmost concern
while SATA drives are appropriate when capacity
and cost are more important.

Featured enhancements on the LSI SAS 9211-4i
include End-to-End CRC with Advanced Error
Reporting, power management, and hot plug
support. This HBA automatically negotiates
between SAS and SATA date transfer rates of 1.5,
3 and 6Gb/s speeds. Other features include the
T-10 Protection Model for early detection of
and recovery from data corruption, and Spread
Spectrum Clocking for EMI reductions. All of these
improvements combine to provide an extremely
powerful and dependable HBA that is designed
to meet all of your unique requirements.

Low Overhead Integrated RAID Architecture
LSI Integrated RAID (IR) is a low-cost, hardware
RAID solution made possible by Fusion-MPT™
architecture, which can achieve over 290,000
IOs per second. IR is a processor-based
RAID solution designed for systems requiring
redundancy and high-availability where a full-
featured RAID implementation is not desired
or may be cost-prohibitive. The LSI SAS 9211-4i
employs the LSISAS2008 controller to perform
these RAID functions. By providing RAID at the
hardware level, the host CPU does not perform
RAID calculations allowing for more efficient
system operation.
