LSI SAS9260-8I SGL 8-port SAS/sata RAID card 2.0 512MB

SKU CH-8K4X-RYJBV

An 8-port SAS and sata RAID controller with 512 MB cache on a PCIe 2.0 interface

  • Eight internal ports connect SAS and SATA drives
  • PCIe 2.0 interface provides 6 Gb/s throughput
  • 512 MB onboard cache accelerates RAID operations
  • Low-profile bracket fits compact server chassis

8-port SAS/SATA RAID controller with 512 MB cache

The LSI SAS9260-8I SGL provides eight internal ports for SAS and SATA drives over a PCIe 2.0 interface. It includes 512 MB of onboard cache to accelerate array performance. The card suits servers or workstations that need hardware RAID for multiple drives.

PCIe 2.0 x8 host interface determines compatibility

The controller connects through a PCIe 2.0 slot and requires an x8 electrical link for full bandwidth. Systems limited to x4 or PCIe 1.x slots will reduce throughput. Buyers without a compatible PCIe 2.0 x8 slot should choose a different adapter.

Highlights

  • Eight internal ports connect SAS and SATA drives
  • PCIe 2.0 interface provides 6 Gb/s throughput
  • 512 MB onboard cache accelerates RAID operations
  • Low-profile bracket fits compact server chassis

Questions about this item

What does the 512MB cache do when the RAID card is installed in a server?

The 512MB cache stores write data temporarily so the controller can acknowledge writes faster and reorder commands for better throughput on SAS and sata drives.

How does the PCIe 2.0 interface limit the eight 6Gb/s ports in practice?

The PCIe 2.0 x8 link caps total bandwidth near 4GB/s, so sustained traffic across all eight 6Gb/s SAS or sata ports will hit that ceiling before the drives do.
