TM
First-to-Market Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) RAID for
Maximum Flexibility and Performance
Key Advantages
Industry proven MegaRAID data protection
Flexibility for both SAS and SATA II drives
PCI Express host interface for increased bandwidth
RAID 6 ready for greater data protection
Advanced MegaRAID management suite
MegaRAID SAS Advantage
As the recognized leader in driving and
developing storage interface standards and
technologies, LSI Logic has extended its
leadership with a complete family of SAS
RAID solutions for the next-generation of direct
attach storage (DAS) for servers and high
performance workstations.  MegaRAID SAS
solutions enable system builders to meet both
performance and capacity requirements using
either SAS or SATA drives.  SAS drives
provide speed, reliability and scalability for
enterprise-class systems, while SATA drives
allow for low-cost and efficient storage in
data-dense environments and near-line
storage environments.
New Advanced RAID Management Suite
The MegaRAID Management Suite™ of
software is a complete spectrum of
applications and tools including a next
generation pre-boot as well as advanced
online RAID management utilities. This new
suite of applications features a variety of
configuration options and SAS topology views
from the system host, controller and disk
enclosure down to the logical and physical
drive level. This allows administrators to
efficiently configure, monitor and manage
RAID volumes locally or over the network.
Market Leading Performance
and Features
As the first-to-market eight-port Serial Attached
SCSI RAID solution, the MegaRAID SAS 8408E
offers advanced fault tolerant features for SAS
drives, SATA II drives, or any combination of
the two.  Using a high-performance Intel I/O
processor for optimum RAID performance and
a PCI Express host interface for increased
bandwidth, the MegaRAID SAS 8408E delivers
an intelligent and robust RAID solution.  In
addition, this adapter supports 256MB DDRII
SDRAM for data caching and an intelligent
transportable battery backup (iTBBU) that
protects cached data for up to 72 hours in the
event of a complete power failure.  The
transportable cache module can even be
moved to a new MegaRAID adapter with
complete data retention. 
A Higher Level of Data Protection
In addition to supporting all major RAID
levels, the MegaRAID SAS 8408E is RAID 6
ready.  RAID 6 offers additional fault
tolerance to mission critical applications by
allowing for two simultaneous drive failures
without losing any data.  Other RAID features
include online capacity expansion for adding
storage capacity, RAID level migration for
changing RAID levels, and Patrol Read for
protection against bad blocks of data.
