LSI 9260 8i RAID Controller for Servers

The LSI 9260 8i is a RAID controller card designed for internal storage arrays using SATA and SAS hard drives. It connects through a PCIe 2.0 x8 slot and delivers maximum read rates of 2,875MB/s and write rates of 1,850MB/s. The low-profile MD2 form factor fits 1U and 2U chassis where space is limited.

Suits Builders Using 3Gb/s

This card supports both 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s SATA and SAS drives, giving flexibility for mixed drive deployments in rackmount servers. It does not fit Mini PCIe slots, so compact or embedded platforms cannot use it. Buyers needing a different physical interface or drive protocol should consider other options.

PCIe 2.0 x8 Interface Determines Platform

The controller requires a full-size PCIe 2.0 x8 slot to operate at its rated bandwidth. Verify that the host system provides this exact slot type and electrical width before purchase. Without the correct slot the card will not install or perform as specified.

Highlights

  • High read speeds up to 2875 MB/s for fast data access
  • High write speeds up to 1850 MB/s for quick data storage
  • PCIe 2.0 x8 interface provides faster signal transmission for high bandwidth applications
  • Supports SATA and SAS drives at 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s for flexible connectivity
