Modular RAID 12Gb/s (SAS3.0)
5.1.1
Features
The RAID controller "PRAID EP400i / EP420i" implements the LSI SAS3108
which is an integrated SAS and I/O controller with dual embedded Power PC
476 cores running at speeds up to 1.2 GHz. The LSI SAS3108 also provides the
following functionalities:
Provides an 8-lane 5.0 / 8.0 Gbit PCIe 3.0 host bus.
●
Provides an 8-port 12Gb/s SAS3 and 6Gb/s SATA3 interface.
●
Provides a 1866-MHz DDR3 SDRAM interface with a hardware RAID assist
●
engine for parity calculations.
Provides a full-featured hardware-based RAID solution that supports RAID
●
levels 0, 1, 1E, 5, 6, 10, 50, and 60.
