Product Description
The 3ware 9690SA-4I is a cutting-edge RAID controller card that leverages the PCI Express x8 interface to deliver exceptional storage performance and reliability. With four internal SAS/SATA 3Gb/s ports, it provides the connectivity needed to manage a significant number of drives, supporting capacities up to 128 devices when combined with expanders. This controller is engineered to meet the rigorous demands of enterprise-level storage solutions, offering advanced features for data protection and system uptime. At its core, the 9690SA-4I features an onboard XOR engine, which significantly accelerates RAID calculations, thereby enhancing the overall performance of RAID arrays. This is crucial for applications that require high I/O throughput and low latency. The controller supports a comprehensive range of RAID levels, including 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, providing flexibility to configure storage solutions based on specific needs for performance, redundancy, or a combination of both. Furthermore, the 3ware 9690SA-4I is designed with data integrity and ease of management in mind. It offers support for a Battery Backup Unit (BBU), which protects cached data in the event of a power failure, preventing data loss. The accompanying management software provides a user-friendly interface for configuring RAID arrays, monitoring drive health, and performing firmware updates, making it a robust and manageable solution for critical storage infrastructure.
