Broadcom first-to-market 12 Gb/s SAS solutions are designed to deliver the performance and data protection capabilities required for the most demanding next-generation server and storage platforms. Offering up to double the data transfer rate of 6 Gb/s SAS solutions, 12 Gb/s SAS allows the SAS infrastructure to deliver bandwidth that can fully utilize that of PCI Express 3.0 with a single controller card. The MegaRAID® SAS 9361-8i, with eight internal ports, delivers two 1.2 GHz PowerPC processor cores and a 72-bit DDR3 interface that drives 2 GB cache memory. Powered by the SAS3108 RAID-on-Chip (ROC), the 9361-8i controller includes the latest PCI Express 3.0 and 12 Gb/s SAS technology and helps users to support increased scaling of hard disk drives (HDDs) and maximize the performance benefits of solid state drives (SSDs). Enterprise Data Protection Standard support for the most popular RAID levels and accessories, including RAID 5, RAID 6, and CacheVault® Flash cache protection module, further strengthen the data protection capabilities of the MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i. A new enterprise feature employed by the 12 Gb/s MegaRAID SAS controllers is advanced drive diagnostic technology. In the event of a physical drive failure, the drive is placed in shield state and the MegaRAID controller starts drive diagnostics to determine if the drive is indeed failed or can be restored. This saves customers time, money, and lost compute time associated with transient drive failures and unnecessary drive returns. Support for Advanced Software Options The 12 Gb/s MegaRAID controller family is designed to support Broadcom advanced software options that provide system integrators and VARs with enhanced performance and data protection capabilities. These software options help enable end users to address key business challenges while helping to deliver a higher return on their IT investments. MegaRAID CacheCade® Pro 2.0 software (optional) and MegaRAID Fast Path software (included) boost transactional I/O performance of solid state disk configurations, while SafeStore™ software enables enhanced data protection and security when used with encryption-capable devices. • Connect up to 128 3 Gb/s, 6 Gb/s, or 12 Gb/s SATA and SAS devices 9361-8i 12 Gb/s PCI Express SATA + SAS RAID Controller Product Brief MegaRAID SAS 9361-8i Solution Provided Eight-port internal 12 Gb dual core ROC-based SAS solution for data center, cloud, and performance-hungry applications using up to 128 SAS or SATA devices Physical Dimensions MD2 low profile (6.6 in. × 2.536 in.)
