  • TypeFlash Memory
  • Eight total SAS ports let you connect multiple drives
  • Two internal SAS ports keep cabling inside the chassis
  • PCI Express x8 host interface provides high-throughput connectivity
  • 6 Gb/s SAS controller type supports fast data transfers
  • RAID 0 and 1 levels give redundancy or performance options

Dell 8-port SAS Controller Card

This Dell JW063 controller card adds eight 6 Gb/s SAS connections through a single PCI Express x8 slot. Two of the ports are internal while the remaining six support external devices. The board provides hardware RAID levels 0 and 1 for basic redundancy or striping.

Suited for servers needing extra SAS links

Administrators expanding direct-attached storage or connecting external JBOD enclosures can use the eight ports to scale capacity. Builders who require RAID 5, RAID 6 or higher-level data protection should look at a controller that supports those modes.

PCI Express x8 host interface

The card installs in an x8 PCIe slot and presents the full set of eight SAS ports to the operating system. Verify that the target system has an available x8 slot before ordering.

Questions about this item

How is the Dell JW063 installed, and what slot width mistake do builders make?

Install the card into a PCI Express x8 slot; the common error is seating it in an x4 slot, which limits the 6Gb/s SAS bandwidth.

What maintenance will the 8-port SAS controller need later?

The plug-in card has no moving parts or batteries; keep the firmware current and reseat the card if the host fails to detect the two internal SAS ports.

Which limit appears first when all eight SAS ports run sustained workloads?

The PCI Express x8 host interface caps aggregate throughput, so the bus saturates before the individual 6Gb/s SAS links reach their ceiling.
