SKU CH-RRND-JZGWX MPN RR3740C

A 16-port 12G SAS/SATA RAID controller with a PCIe 3.0 x8 interface for server storage expansion

  • TypeSATA / SAS
  • 16 ports connect up to sixteen SAS or SATA drives
  • 12 Gbps SAS bandwidth per port for fast data transfer
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface fits standard server slots
  • Hardware RAID offloads parity work from the CPU
  • New controller ready for immediate deployment

16-port SAS/SATA RAID controller

The HighPoint RR3740C is a PCIe 3.0 x8 add-in card that provides sixteen 12 Gbps SAS and SATA ports. It is designed for servers and workstations that need to connect a large number of hard drives or solid-state drives through a single expansion slot.

PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface

The card requires an available PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot to deliver full bandwidth to all sixteen ports. Systems limited to x4 electrical lanes or older PCIe generations will constrain total throughput and may not be suitable for high-queue-depth workloads.

No cables or brackets included

The controller ships as a bare board without Mini-SAS HD cables, drive brackets or mounting hardware. Installers must source compatible cabling and mechanical parts separately to complete the storage array.

Questions about this item

What does the 16-port 12G SAS rating mean for drive throughput in a live server?

Each of the 16 ports supports up to 12 Gb/s SAS or SATA signalling, so the card can sustain that rate per drive when the backplane and cables are also 12 Gb/s rated.

How does the PCIe 3.0 x8 host link limit total array bandwidth?

The x8 slot provides roughly 64 Gb/s of upstream bandwidth, which caps combined throughput from all 16 ports to that aggregate ceiling.

What physical slot and bracket space does the RR3740C need to install?

It requires a full-height PCIe 3.0 x8 (or wider) slot and one rear bracket opening for the external mini-SAS HD connectors.
