Product Brief
MegaRAID SATA+SAS Entry Product Line
MegaRAID SATA+SAS entry controller cards allow small to medium business (SMB) owners
and gaming enthusiasts to enjoy the latest RAID technology at aordable prices with low
power consumption. This product line delivers trusted MegaRAID reliability with minimal
maintenance eort. MegaRAID entry controller cards oer users a straight-forward solution
that includes essential RAID levels and uncomplicated conguration options.
In addition, they are able to connect to combinations of SATA and SAS hard disk drives and
solid state drives, allowing for storage congurations that optimize cost, performance and
robust data protection.
Enterprise Ready
Along with an extensive list of enterprise RAID capabilities, the 9341 series now oers
advanced drive diagnostic technologies. In the event of a physical drive failure, the drive is
placed in a shielded 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.
Simple Migration to MegaRAID Enterprise Products
A unique feature of the MegaRAID SATA+SAS entry line is the ability to migrate from these
simple, yet powerful RAID 5 controllers to the more full-featured MegaRAID product lines.
Users can simply plug in a new controller to recognize and import the existing array without
requiring any reconguration. Plus, a single management client provides a consistent user
interface to manage any MegaRAID SATA, SAS or SSD array.
12Gb/s SAS and PCI 3.0 Performance Advantages
12Gb/s SAS is designed for backward compatibility with 6Gb/s and 3Gb/s SAS and SATA
hard drives. Regardless of the drive speed, 12Gb/s MegaRAID controllers will deliver
signicant performance improvements in both read and write applications compared to their
predecessors.
