LSI Logic

LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 9380-8e 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller 8 port PCIe 3.0 x8

SKU CH-AN3S-MVSJQ

A 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller with eight ports supporting RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50 and 60 over PCIe 3.0 x8

  • 12 Gb/s SAS throughput doubles 6 Gb/s bandwidth
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface saturates controller bandwidth
  • Eight external SAS ports connect large drive arrays
  • RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 protect critical data
  • Plug-in card form factor fits standard server slots

Eight-port 12Gb/s SAS RAID controller

The LSI Logic MegaRAID SAS 9380-8e is a plug-in card that connects to a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot. It provides eight external SAS ports for attaching JBOD enclosures or direct-attached drives. The card targets administrators who need hardware RAID in rackmount or tower servers.

Hardware RAID levels 0 1 5 6 10 50 60

The on-board processor handles parity calculations for RAID 5 6 50 and 60 without burdening the host CPU. Supported levels include striping mirroring and nested configurations up to RAID 60. This breadth lets you match capacity redundancy and performance to each workload.

Sustained throughput at 12Gb/s per port

The 12Gb/s SAS interface doubles the lane speed of 6Gb/s controllers so each of the eight ports can maintain high sequential bandwidth under continuous load. The PCIe 3.0 x8 host link provides enough headroom to keep all ports fed during heavy read or write streams.

Highlights

  • 12 Gb/s SAS throughput doubles 6 Gb/s bandwidth
  • PCIe 3.0 x8 host interface saturates controller bandwidth
  • Eight external SAS ports connect large drive arrays
  • RAID 0, 1, 5, 6, 10, 50, 60 protect critical data
  • Plug-in card form factor fits standard server slots

Questions about this item

What does the 12 Gb/s SAS rating mean once the card is installed in a server?

Each of the eight external ports can move data at up to 12 Gb/s, letting the controller feed a PCIe 3.0 x8 host bus without becoming the bottleneck.

Which host interface standard does the card use and what throughput does it cap at?

It plugs into a PCI Express 3.0 x8 slot, which limits total bandwidth to the lane speed of that generation.

What physical slot and bracket space does the MegaRAID 9380-8e need to mount?

The plug-in card occupies a full-height PCIe slot and uses one rear bracket for its eight external SAS connectors.
