Product Brief MegaRAID(R) SAS 9260-8i / MegaRAID SAS 9260DE-8i Eight-Port 6Gb/s PCI Express SATA and SAS RAID Controller Protect Business Critical Data with the Industry's Most Trusted SATA+SAS RAID Controllers Key Features Eight internal 6Gb/s SATA+SAS ports Two Mini-SAS internal connectors (SFF-8087) LSI SAS 2108 6Gb/s RAID-on-Chip (R) -800MHzPowerPC - Next-Generation SATA+SAS RAID MegaRAID SATA+SAS controllers provide a new level of reliability, availability, and performance to businesses that are facing storage challenges driven by unprecedented data growth. With data transfer rates of up to 6Gb/s per port, the MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i and 9260DE-8i bring users new 512MB 800MHz DDRII cache memory Optional battery backup module 3Gb/s SATA+SAS generation. These two MegaRAID value line controllers, ideal for inside-the-box RAID Levels 0, 1, 5 and 6 connectivity, employ the latest in RAID-on-Chip technology, comply with the PCI Express 2.0 RAID Spans 10, 50 and 60 specification, and provide additional data security using SafeStore encryption services. Key Advantages features and improved performance, while continuing to support all the features of the previous 6Gb/s SAS Performance Advantage 6Gb/s SAS for superior levels of RAID performance 6Gb/s SAS is designed for backward compatibility with 3Gb/s SAS as well as with 6Gb/s and PCI Express 2.0 provides faster signaling for highbandwidth applications 3Gb/s SATA hard drives. Regardless of the drive speed, 6Gb/s MegaRAID controllers will deliver Support for 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s SATA and SAS hard drives greater signal integrity using Decision Feedback Equalization, support for more sophisticated SAS (R) SafeStore Encryption Services for more secure data protection TM Typical Applications Video-On-Demand Video-Surveillance Video Creation + Editing Medical Imaging High-Performance Computing Digital Content Archive and VTL Storage Appliance File, Web, Database, and Email Servers significant performance improvements in both read and write applications as compared to their 3Gb/s predecessors. Other new features of the 6Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS controllers include topologies using Expander Self-discovery/ Self-configuration, and additional safeguards to enhance data protection. SafeStore Encryption Services Avago is pleased to introduce SafeStore encryption services, which offer instant secure erase and local key management* for self-encrypting drives (SEDs). This technology represents a significant step forward in securing a drive's data from any unauthorized access or modification resulting from theft, loss, or repurposing of drives. Instant secure erase permanently removes data when repurposing or decommissioning SEDs. SafeStore local key management provides the necessary management and protection of SEDs using a simple pass phrase, security key identifier, and security key file, which can be set and applied to all SEDs assigned to a MegaRAID controller. This removes the complexity of managing each SED's unique encryption key, and essentially relieves the administrator from most of the daily tasks of securing data. Intuitive RAID Management Utility The MegaRAID Management SuiteTM provides the essential software tools to efficiently manage MegaRAID products, whether deployed in an enterprise or small business. Avago offers a collection of applications and tools including a pre-boot setup utility and a full spectrum of online RAID management utilities. This suite of applications allow administrators to adjust SAS topology views from the system host, controller and disk enclosure down to the logical and physical drive level. Extending to enterprise deployments, these tools scale to easily configure, monitor and manage RAID volumes locally or over the LAN network.
