Product Description

Product Description

The LSI 9361-8i 12G SAS RAID Card (CMCTO variant) is a high-performance storage controller designed for enterprise environments requiring reliable SAS connectivity and advanced RAID capabilities. Below is a detailed analysis based on available specifications and market insights:

1. Core Specifications

• Interface:
  • 12Gbps SAS3 interface with backward compatibility for 6Gbps/3Gbps SAS and SATA devices.
  • 8 internal SAS ports (via 2 Mini-SAS HD connectors, SFF-8643), supporting up to 24 drives with direct attach or 256 drives via SAS expanders.
• Form Factor:
  • Low-profile (LP) design for rackmount servers or blade systems.
• Cache:
  • 2GB DDR4 ECC cache for improved read/write performance, though the CMCTO variant excludes battery-backed write cache (BBU) or flash-based power-loss protection (e.g., CacheVault).
• RAID Support:
  • RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60, and JBOD.
  • Supports SSD TRIM, SED (Self-Encrypting Drive), and online capacity expansion (OCE).

2. Key Features

• Performance:
  • Hardware-accelerated RAID processing offloads CPU workloads.
  • Up to 960,000 IOPS (random 4KB writes) and 1.8GB/s throughput (sequential writes) with optimal configuration.
• Power Loss Protection:
  • CMCTO variant lacks BBU/CacheVault, meaning cached data is at risk during power outages. Users must rely on external UPS or configure write-through caching (safer but slower).
