Broadcom LSI 9265-8i LSI00277 PCIe 2.0 x8 LSISAS2208 8 Internal Ports 6Gb/s SATA SAS RAID Controller

As storage demands expand and processing loads grow, it becomes increasingly more difficult for administrators to achieve maximum performance from their applications. The newest line of LSI™ MegaRAID® 6Gb/s SATA+SAS controller cards, built on the LSISAS2208 dual-core ROC, offer unmatched I/O performance for database applications and streaming digital media environments. The MegaRAID SAS 9265-8i, with eight internal ports, delivers two 800MHz PowerPC processor cores and a 72-bit DDRIII interface that drives 1GB cache memory. Users can deploy the MegaRAID SAS 9265-8i in existing HDD-based server environments for significant performance gains. Alternatively, for users implementing hybrid server platforms based on solid-state storage, these next-generation MegaRAID controllers exploit the potential of SSDs for unsurpassed performance and enterprise-class reliability.
