| March 2011 | |
 This 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), 512MB DDR2 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. Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection – Save Thousands of Dollars in Data Center Costs This Series controllers introduce Zero-Maintenance Cache Protection, a revolutionary advancement that maximizes performance and extends power savings by protecting controller cache without battery backup units and without incurring monitoring, maintenance, replacement or disposal costs. During a system power loss, the flash memory-based cache protection can preserve data for up to 10 years. Intelligent Power Management - Reduce Power by up to 70% Intelligent Power Management slashes storage power and cooling costs by spinning down idle disks and providing a lower power mode for active disks.
