Computer Technology Review: LSI Launches New Controller Firmware
Designed to provide compliance with Intel SSDs for servers, storage and workstations
LSI has released a new controller firmware for its 3ware 9650SE SATA RAID controller cards which provide support for Intel X25-E Extreme SATA Solid State Drives (SSDs). The firmware upgrade is designed to provide compliance with the Intel SSDs for servers, storage and workstations.
According to LSI, Intel X25-E Extreme SSDs are based on single-level cell (SLC) NAND flash technology to offer enhanced read and write times. The LSI 3ware 9650SE PCI Express to SATA RAID controllers is claimed to complement the Intel drives with hardware RAID protection.
The company claims that the 3ware RAID management interface and software suite provide users with a ‘simplified’ configuration experience regardless of storage interface. It offers a portfolio of 3ware RAID controllers, including a line of SAS/SATA cards and a family of SATA cards with 2 to 24 ports.
