Leading 6Gb/s SATA and SAS




LSI™ brings new 6Gb/s 3ware® and entry-level MegaRAID® controller cards, and high-port count HBAs to the market, offering more high-performing and scalable options to meet customer needs.  New members of the LSI 6Gb/s SATA+SAS product family offer:

  • High performance of sequential reads and writes
  • Cost-effective options that double the throughput rate of previous 3Gb/s models
  • Enhanced usability with faster array rebuilds, and minimum guaranteed throughput
  • Superior management for both local and remote monitoring, and configuration

Designed to Meet a Multitude of Applications
With the new additions, LSI offers the broadest portfolio of 6Gb/s storage adapters available today for both 3Gb/s and 6Gb/s applications.  The entire line of 6Gb/s SATA+SAS plays an important role in building the storage ecosystem suitable for a variety of applications.

  • Video-On-Demand
  • Video-Surveillance
  • Video Creation + Editing
  • Medical Imaging
  • High-Performance Computing
  • Digital Content Archive and VTL
  • Storage Appliance
  • File, Web, Database, and Email Servers
  • 3ware® RAID controller cards are a good fit for multi-stream and video-streaming applications
  • MegaRAID® entry-level RAID controllers are a good choice for general purpose servers (OLTP, WEB, File servers and High-performance Desktops)
  • High-port count HBAs are good for supporting a large number of drives within a storage system.

Higher ROI with LSI 6Gb/s SATA+SAS
LSI 6Gb/s storage adapters are compatible with your existing 3Gb/s SATA and SAS HDDs.  And if you decide to upgrade your entire system to 6Gb/s (SATA and SAS hard drives and chassis), you will realise even more benefits from the new LSI 6Gb/s storage adapters.

Data Security for Self-Encrypting Drives
Some models within the 6Gb/s line-up offer LSI SafeStore™ Encryption Services, which provide instant secure erase and local key management for self-encrypting drives (SEDs).  This technology represents a significant step forward in securing a drive’s data from any unauthorised access or modification resulting from theft, loss, or repurposing of drives.

More Features and Flexibility 
LSI 6Gb/s SATA+SAS storage adapters are feature rich and include 6Gb/s Signalling, Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC), Decision Feedback Equalization (DFE), Expander Self-Discovery, Self-Configuration and Standardised Zoning.
