Product Description
The LSI LSI9380-8E is a cutting-edge 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller designed to deliver exceptional performance and advanced data protection for enterprise storage environments. Featuring a PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface, it provides ample bandwidth for high-speed data transfers, making it suitable for the most demanding applications. The '8E' designation typically indicates that this controller is equipped with external SAS ports (often SFF-8644), allowing it to connect to external disk shelves (JBODs) or storage arrays, thereby expanding storage capacity significantly. This controller supports a comprehensive suite of RAID levels, including RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60. This flexibility allows administrators to configure storage arrays that best meet their specific needs for performance, redundancy, and capacity. With its 12Gb/s SAS interface, it offers double the throughput of previous 6Gb/s controllers, crucial for high-performance computing, large databases, and video editing workflows. The controller can manage up to 1024 SAS or SATA devices when used in conjunction with SAS expanders. Built on LSI's proven MegaRAID technology, the LSI9380-8E provides robust hardware RAID capabilities, offloading RAID processing from the host CPU. It typically includes onboard cache memory to further accelerate I/O operations, and often supports an optional Battery Backup Unit (BBU) or CacheVault module to protect data in cache during unexpected power loss. This makes it a reliable and powerful solution for mission-critical storage deployments.
