Next-Generation SATA+SAS RAID
LSI™ MegaRAID SATA+SAS controllers provide
a new level of reliability, availability, and
performance to businesses that are facing
storage challenges driven by unprecedented
data growth. With data transfer rates of up to
6Gb/s per port, the MegaRAID SAS 9260-8i
and 9260DE-8i bring users new features and
improved performance, while continuing to
support all the features of the previous 3Gb/s
SATA+SAS generation. These two MegaRAID
value line controllers, ideal for inside-the-
box connectivity, employ the latest in
RAID-on-Chip technology, comply with the
PCI Express 2.0 specication, and provide
additional data security using LSI SafeStore
encryption services.
6Gb/s SAS Performance Advantage
6Gb/s SAS is designed for backward compat-
ibility with 3Gb/s SAS as well as with 6Gb/s and
3Gb/s SATA hard drives. Regardless of the drive
speed, 6Gb/s MegaRAID controllers will deliver
signicant performance improvements in both
read and write applications as compared to their
3Gb/s predecessors. Other new features of the
6Gb/s MegaRAID SATA+SAS controllers include
greater signal integrity using Decision Feedback
Equalization, support for more sophisticated
SAS topologies using Expander Self-discovery/
Self-conguration, and additional safeguards to
enhance data protection.
LSI SafeStore Encryption Services
LSI is pleased to introduce SafeStore encryption
services, which oer instant secure erase and
local key management* for self-encrypting
drives (SEDs). This technology represents a
signicant step forward in securing a drive’s
data from any unauthorized access or
modication resulting from theft, loss, or
repurposing of drives. Instant secure erase
permanently removes data when repurposing
or decommissioning SEDs. SafeStore local
key management provides the necessary
management and protection of SEDs using a
simple pass phrase, security key identier, and
security key le, which can be set and applied
to all SEDs assigned to a MegaRAID controller.
This removes the complexity of managing
each SED’s unique encryption key, and
essentially relieves the administrator from
most of the daily tasks of securing data.
Protect Business Critical Data with the Industry’s Most Trusted
SATA+SAS RAID Controllers
*local key management is supported only with the 9260DE-8i
