LSI Logic MegaRAID SATA 300-8XLP - storage controller (RAID) - SATA-300 - PCI-X

The MegaRAID SATA 300-8XLP offers data transfer rates of up to 3Gb/s per port in a low-profile form factor controller card. It addresses the growing demand for RAID in high-density rackmount chassis environments. Also, with the addition of individual drive activity and fault LED headers, users can view status of hard drives through LEDs on the chassis.In addition to 3Gb/s SATA transfer rates, the MegaRAID SATA 300-8XLP supports Native Command Queuing (NCQ) and Enclosure Management (SAF-TE). NCQ, among the more advanced features defined in the SATA II specification, allows for higher performance and increased reliability by reordering commands more efficiently. Enclosure Management (SAF-TE) support allows administrators to manage the status of enclosures and drives. With support for these new SATA features, the MegaRAID SATA 300-4XLP provides a reliable and robust RAID solution to data intensive storage applications.RAID and Fault Tolerant Features:RAID Levels 0, 1, 5, and 10Enclosure management support (SAF-TE)Individual drive activity LED headers (8)Individual fault LED headers (8)Variable stripe size support40 logical drive supportPatrol readFlexRAID power fail optionOnline capacity expansionFast initialization for quick array setupNative Command Queuing (NCQ)Tagged Command Queuing (TCQ)Flashable BIOSDrive hot plug supportAutomatic rebuild of hot spare drivesOnline RAID level migrationRemote battery backup supportConfiguration on Disk (COD)/NVRAMS.M.A.R.T. supportEnhanced
