Product Description
The LSI Logic LSI930516I represents a significant advancement in storage connectivity, offering a 12Gb/s SAS interface that doubles the throughput of its 6Gb/s predecessors. This high-performance RAID controller is built for enterprise-grade servers and storage systems that require maximum I/O performance and reliability. It connects via a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot, providing a substantial 64GB/s of bandwidth to ensure that the controller is never a bottleneck, even with multiple high-speed drives operating simultaneously. This controller is designed to manage a large number of drives, typically supporting up to 16 SAS or SATA devices directly. It offers comprehensive RAID support, including advanced levels like RAID 6 and RAID 60, which provide enhanced data protection against multiple drive failures. The controller often comes with substantial onboard cache memory (e.g., 1GB or 2GB DDR3/DDR4), which is critical for accelerating RAID operations, especially for write-intensive workloads. Features like hardware RAID, advanced error recovery, and support for enterprise SSDs make it a robust solution. The LSI930516I is part of LSI's (now Broadcom) 9300 series, known for its reliability and performance in demanding data center environments. It is suitable for a wide range of applications, including high-performance computing, large databases, virtualization, and content delivery networks, where fast and reliable access to large volumes of data is essential. Its backward compatibility with 6Gb/s SAS and SATA drives ensures flexibility in deployment.
