Description:

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 connecting 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. 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 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 adaptors is best served with supplier experience and know-how. Having a supplier who fully understands the physical, electrical and protocol requirements of each serial standard will reduce the time for system bringup and offer greater flexibility in system topography. 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 adaptor is providing the most advanced and robust serial technology available.
