The LSISAS3041X-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
connecting a 64-bit PCI-X 133MHz bus with 4
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.

Performance
As the performance leader in SCSI/SAS controllers,
the LSISAS3041X-R leverages the LSISAS1064
controller ASIC’s advanced Fusion-MPT archi-
tecture. While other SAS cards drive large RAID
software stacks between the host CPU and con-
troller, the LSISAS3041X-R HBA utilizes the em-
bedded CPU in the LSISAS1064 ASIC to perform
Integrated RAID 0, 1, 1E and 10E operations.

By avoiding the PCI-X bus traffic and reducing
RAID code overhead, the LSISAS3041X-R is first
in READ/WRITE operation execution.
