9285CV-8E - LSI Logic MegaRAID 8-Port 6GB/s SAS / SATA PCI-Express 2.0 x 8 RAID Controller with 1GB DDR-III Cache

Description

The LSI 9285CV-8E Logic MegaRAID controller is a high-performance storage solution designed for demanding enterprise environments. It offers a versatile 6Gb/s SATA/SAS interface, enabling it to connect to a wide range of storage devices, including both traditional hard drives and high-speed solid-state drives. The controller features a total of 8 internal and 8 external ports, providing extensive connectivity options for complex storage configurations and allowing for easy expansion. This makes it particularly well-suited for servers requiring high-density storage or external JBOD expansion. Equipped with 1GB of cache memory and leveraging the high bandwidth of the PCIe 3.0 x8 interface, the 9285CV-8E delivers exceptional performance for I/O-intensive applications. It supports a comprehensive suite of RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60, offering robust data protection and performance optimization capabilities. Whether the need is for maximum performance with RAID 0, data redundancy with RAID 1 or 5, or advanced protection with RAID 6 or 10, this controller provides the flexibility to meet diverse requirements. Data integrity is a key focus, with the inclusion of an onboard battery backup unit (BBU). This BBU protects the controller's cache memory during unexpected power interruptions, ensuring that any data in transit is safely written to persistent storage, thereby preventing data loss. The LSI 9285CV-8E is a powerful and reliable choice for applications demanding high throughput, advanced RAID features, and dependable data protection.
