3.1 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS RAID Controller Family

The 6Gb/s MegaRAID SAS RAID controllers are dual PHY, SAS PCI Express RAID controllers and are used in a system

with a PCI Express slot. PCI Express goes beyond the PCI specification in that it is intended as a unifying I/O

architecture for various systems: desktops, workstations, mobile devices, servers, communications, and

embedded devices.

The following subsection provides figures and connector information for the 6Gb/s SAS RAID controllers.
