The host bus adapter supports large capacity external server storage RAID and non-RAID enclosures by connecting a 64-bit PCI-X 133MHz bus with two external x4 SFF8088 miniSAS connectors. The LSISAS3801X demonstrates a significant advantage over parallel SCSI in providing 2400MB/s (4800 MB/s full-duplex) external data throughput and cost optimization of SAS and SATA drives. The LSISAS3801X 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 LSISAS3801X into servers as thin as 2U, while unleashing 2400MB/s (4800MB/s full-duplex) throughput to external enclosures. connectors (SFF8088) n n Cost-Optimization of External Storage with SAS As the first-to-market leader in SAS, LSI is providing more bandwidth to cost-optimized external drive arrays. System integrators can use the LSISAS3801X 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 missioncritical applications, end-users will receive highcapacity, 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 LSISAS3801X to develop a tiered storage array. SAS Connectivity from the Serial IO Experts The LSISAS3801X 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. 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 LSISAS3801X HBA supports all key 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows, Linux, AMD64 and EM64T system architectures.
