RAID controller with eight Sata/SAS ports

The LSI Logic MegaRAID 9240-8i is a PCIe 2.0 x8 add-in card that provides eight internal Sata and SAS connections through two Mini-SAS SFF-8087 ports. It supports RAID levels 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 for redundant or striped storage arrays in servers and workstations. The low-profile bracket fits space-constrained chassis while the 6Gb/s link speed handles both hard drives and SSDs.

Suited for administrators building internal arrays

This card suits IT teams that need hardware RAID for up to eight Sata or SAS drives in a system with a free PCIe 2.0 x8 slot. It is not for buyers who require external drive connectivity or who need more than eight internal ports. It is also not for systems that lack a compatible PCIe 2.0 x8 expansion slot.

PCIe 2.0 x8 interface and eight 6Gb/s ports

The decisive specification is the PCI Express 2.0 x8 host interface combined with eight internal Sata/SAS ports running at 6Gb/s each. Verify that the target server or workstation provides a matching PCIe 2.0 x8 slot and that the drive count and RAID level requirements align with the supported 0, 1, 5, 10 and 50 modes.

Questions about this item

What does the 6Gb/s rating mean once the card is installed in a server?

Each of the eight internal ports can move data at up to 6Gb/s when paired with matching SATA or SAS drives, giving high throughput for databases and virtualization workloads.

How does the PCIe 2.0 x8 interface limit real-world speed?

The PCIe 2.0 x8 link caps total bandwidth at the bus level, so combined port traffic cannot exceed that ceiling even if individual drives run at 6Gb/s.

What physical slot and connectors does the 9240-8i need to fit?

It requires a PCIe x8 slot and uses two mini-SAS SFF-8087 connectors for the eight internal ports, with a low-profile bracket for tight chassis.
