Overview
The SAS 9305 16-port and 24-port, 12Gb/s SAS HBA family provides
increased connectivity and maximum performance for high-end servers
and appliances with internal storage or when connecting to large-scale
storage enclosures.
The SAS 9305 HBA family is based on either the SAS 3216 or 3224 I/O
controller that integrates the latest enhancements in SAS and PCI Express
technology. The adapters can deliver more than 1 million IOPs. The HBAs
support up to 24 SAS ports operating at 12Gb/s data transfer rates. The
HBA family supports 8 PCI Express lanes that comply with the latest PCI
Express 3.0 specification. The adapters are backwards compatible with the
previous SAS and PCIe generations through automatic negotiation and
provide SAS data transfer rates of 12, 6, and 3Gb/s per lane and SATA data
transfer rates of 6 and 3Gb/s per lane. Broadcom provides a broad suite of
industry standard operating system drivers.
Broadcom Storage Solutions
Broadcom products serve four primary target markets: wireless
communications, wired infrastructure, enterprise storage, and industrial and
other. Broadcom has the industry’s broadest portfolio of storage solutions,
backed by decades of experience and trusted by the world’s leading server
and storage suppliers. Broadcom provides the building blocks for storage
solutions that help customers understand, prioritize, store and protect
critical data.
The Broadcom 12Gb/s SAS portfolio includes MegaRAID® controller cards,
HBAs, advanced software options, Syncro shared DAS solutions, and SAS
storage ICs, including RAID-on-Chip (ROCs), I/O controllers and expanders.
Fusion-MPT™ Architecture
Broadcom SAS HBAs are based on Fusion-MPT architected SAS
controllers, which implement the Fusion-MPT (Message Passing
Technology) architecture. Each controller features embedded PowerPC
processors that help deliver maximum host CPU ooad. The built-in
intelligence enables Broadcom to publish a single binary OS driver to
operate any Fusion-MPT controller or adapter. The architecture helps
enable high performance, reduced software development, and faster time
to market.
