The 3ware SAS 9750-8e controller card provides a new level of system reliability, availability, and performance for businesses that are facing storage challenges driven by unprecedented data growth. Offering data transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s per port, this controller card ensures complete investment protection for existing SATA and SAS implementations. 6Gb/s SAS is designed for backward compatibility with 3Gb/s SAS as well as with 3Gb/s SATA hard drives. Supporting high capacity external server storage RAID and non-RAID enclosures, this controller comes equipped with eight external SAS ports, allowing you to connect multiple JBODs to server for a scalable and affordable solution to the growing storage requirements. Regardless of the drive speed, 6Gb/s 3ware SAS 9750-8e can deliver up to twice the performance level in both read and write applications as compared to their 3Gb/s predecessors.
The eight-port 3ware SAS 9750-8e controller card provides a new level of reliability, availability, and performance to businesses that are facing storage challenges, particularly in sequential I/O intensive and multi-stream environments. This 3ware controller bolsters high capacity external server storage RAID and non-RAID enclosures and provides a higher standard of data protection and performance with the latest in LSI RAID-on-Chip (ROC) technology. Using the external SAS ports, multiple JBODs can be connected to a server, providing a scalable and affordable solution for growing storage requirements. Additionally, StreamFusion™+ is designed to deliver breakthroughs in high-load applications and provide enhanced features and functionality in all environments.
Offering data transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s per port, this 3ware SATA+SAS controller provides many new features while also ensuring investment protection for existing SAS and SATA implementations. LSI 3ware delivers unprecedented power in multi-stream RAID environments where performance, redundancy, and data protection are most important.
The 9750-8E ships with 512MB of DDR2-800 SDRAM and an Intel PowerPC 800 Mhz processor.
