The LSI SAS3080X-R card provides the greatest available throughput to internal server storage arrays through eight internal 3Gb/s ports, driving up to 122 Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) and Serial ATA (SATA) devices. The host bus adapter supports multiple configurations of SAS and SATA devices running RAID 0, 1, 1E, or 10E by connecting a 64-bit PCI-X 133MHz bus with two internal x4 SFF-8484 SAS connectors. The SAS3080X-R demonstrates a significant advantage over parallel SCSI in providing 2400MB/s external data throughput and cost optimization of SAS and SATA drives.
