Questions about this item
What does the 12Gb SAS interface cap in practice?
The 12Gb/s SAS link sets the maximum per-lane throughput, so each attached drive is limited to that 12Gb/s ceiling.
What physical slot and bracket does the P440Ar need?
It installs in a PCIe 3.0 x8 slot and ships with a standard bracket for server chassis mounting.
