Expand your horizon
LSI 3ware SATA+SAS RAID controllers provide 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 supports both internal drive storage and external JBOD expansion, while providing a higher standard of data protection and performance with the LSI RAID-on-Chip (ROC) technology. Using the external SAS ports, multiple JBODs can be connected to a server, delivering 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.

6Gbps SAS advantage
6Gbps SAS is designed for backward compatibility with 3Gbps SAS as well as with 3Gbps SATA drives. In addition, 6Gbps 3ware controllers deliver significant performance improvements in both read and write applications regardless of drive speed. StorSave strengthens array performance during peak usage by allowing the controller to use both controller cache and disk cache for RAID operations. Other features of the 6Gbps 3ware SATA+SAS controller cards include greater signal integrity using decision feedback equalization, support for more sophisticated SAS topologies using expander self-discovery/self-configuration, and additional safeguards to enhance data protection.
