March 2011
sas5405.png
The Series 5 family of high-performance Unified Serial™ (SATA/SAS) RAID controllers offers both high I/O transaction and high bandwidth processing for use with cost-effective, high-capacity SATA drives or high-performance SAS drives.

The RAID card utilizes industry-leading dual core RAID on Chip (ROC), 256MB of DDR2 write cache, and connectivity with the latest x8 PCI-Express to deliver over 250,000 I/Os 1.2GBs. Using SAS expanders, it can connect up to 256 SATA/SAS devices.

Supports a broad range of operating systems, compatibility with more than 300 third-party devices, and full integration with Storage Manager for centralized management of all RAID controllers on the network.

Intelligent Power Management - Reduce Power by up to 70%
The power required by disks is a primary ongoing storage cost. Full power is maintained to every disk whether it is actively being used or not, which also increases cooling costs. Intelligent Power Management slashes power and cooling costs by spinning down idle disks and providing a lower power mode for active disks.
