This host bus adapter supports large capacity external server storage RAID and nonRAID enclosures by connecting a PCI Express bus with two external x4 SFF8088 miniSAS connectors. LSISAS3801E doubles the performance of dual channel Ultra320 SCSI HBAs and is ideal for today's data centers. The LSISAS3801E offers two x4 miniSAS external connectors, allowing unprecedented external throughput in a low-profile HBA. By reducing the height on this SAS card, integrators have greater flexibility to plug the LSISAS3801E into servers as thin as 2U. These adapters, with PCI Express, also capitalize on maximum system performance for those systems needing it. Cost-Optimization of External Storage with SAS The LSISAS3801E is a part of the first generation of Serial Attached SCSI controllers. Successful implementation of these serial adapters is effortless because of LSI experience and knowhow. Having a supplier who fully understands the physical, electrical and protocol requirements of each new serial standard will reduce the time for system bring-up and offer greater flexibility in system topography. As the first-to-market leader in SAS, LSI is providing more bandwidth to cost-optimized external drive arrays. System integrators can use the LSISAS3801E to build large-scale storage array infrastructures that support both SAS and SATA devices. By utilizing lower-cost SATA drives for data backup and SAS drives for mission-critical applications, end-users will receive high-capacity, high-performance data storage while enjoying an interrupt-free high-activity environment. The performance advantage and cost savings can be felt immediately when using the LSISAS3801E to develop a tiered storage array. SAS Connectivity from the Serial IO Experts LSI has supplied cutting edge serial technology to systems throughout the world for over six generations, making LSI the most experienced enabler of serial interconnect for storage in the world. Integrators can be assured that their LSI adapter provides the most advanced and robust serial technology available in the market. Operating System Support Solaris, Netware as well as the x86, IA64, SPARC, validation to ensure optimum system perfor- The LSISAS3801E HBA supports all key 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows, Linux, AMD64 and EM64T system architectures.
