Product Description
Basic Information
- Interface Type1: It uses the SAS interface, which is the upgraded version of the SCSI technology. The serial - based SAS interface can achieve a higher transmission speed, enabling the connection of more disk devices simultaneously while occupying less space inside the server.
- Applicable Scenarios: Intended for small - to - medium - sized enterprises and data centers that require high - performance storage. It is suitable for applications such as database servers, virtualization platforms, and file servers, which can meet the requirements for high - speed data access and storage reliability.
- Form Factor: Usually comes in a half - height, half - length PCI - Express card form factor, which can be installed in standard server chassis. This form factor design ensures good compatibility and space utilization in server environments.
Performance Parameters
- Interface Speed: Supports a 12Gbps SAS interface speed, providing a high - speed data transmission channel1. It is backward - compatible with SAS 6Gbps and 3Gbps devices, as well as SATA 6Gbps and 3Gbps devices, ensuring compatibility with existing storage equipment3.
- Connectivity: Equipped with 8 internal SAS ports, each controller can connect up to 128 SAS or SATA devices, offering strong expansion capabilities and enabling connection to multiple hard drives to form a large - capacity storage system.
- RAID Functionality: Supports a variety of RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, etc2. These RAID levels can meet different application requirements in terms of performance and data security. For example, RAID 0 is suitable for scenarios that require high - speed read and write performance but do not require data redundancy; RAID 1 is used in scenarios with high - security requirements; RAID 5 and RAID 6 can provide a balance between performance and data protection.
