Feature details
SAS RAID adapters
The SAS RAID adapters have the following features:
  • PCI Express (PCIe3) system interface
  • Physical link (phy) speed of 6 Gbps SAS
  • Optimized for SAS disk configurations that use dual paths through dual expanders for redundancy and reliability
  • Adapter managed path redundancy and path switching for multiported SAS devices
  • Embedded PowerPC processor, hardware XOR DMA Engine, and hardware Finite Field Multiplier (FFM) DMA Engine (for Redundant Array of Independent Disks (RAID))
  • Support for RAID 0, 5, 6, and 10 disk arrays
  • Additional features when the PCIe3 x8 cache SAS RAID internal adapter 6 Gb card is installed:
    • Adapters support nonvolatile write cache
    • Support for RAID 5T2, 6T2, and 10T2 tiered disk arrays (depending on the Operating System support)
    • Adapters configured in dual storage IOA or high availability (HA) RAID mode for best reliability and availability
  • RAID disk arrays supported as a boot device
  • Advanced RAID features:
    • Hot spares for RAID 5, 6, 10, 5T2, 6T2, and 10T2 disk arrays
    • Background parity checking
    • Background data scrubbing
    • Disks formatted to 528 or 4224 bytes per sector, providing cyclical redundancy checking (CRC) and logically bad block checking (T10 Data Integrity Fields)
    • Optimized hardware for RAID 5 and 6 sequential write workloads
    • Optimized skip read/write disk support for transaction workloads
