LSISAS3041E-R
3Gb/s SAS EIGHT-PORT HOST BUS ADAPTER
Most Economical SAS/SATA HBA
in the Market Today
The LSISAS3041E-R card offers leading-edge SAS
and SATA RAID and non-RAID data off-load at a
fraction of the cost for competing products. The
low-cost HBA supports medium capacity internal
server storage applications by connecting a 4-lane
2.5Gb/s PCI Express bus with 4 SAS/SATA ports
through SATA 1x connectors. Cost advantages
over parallel SCSI are realized by optimizing the
HDD array between SAS and SATA drive types,
utilizing the lower-cost SATA drives for backup
while using the feature-rich SAS drives for mission-
critical applications.
Superior LSI Logic SAS Integrated
RAID Performance
As the performance leader in SCSI/SAS controllers,
the LSISAS3041E-R leverages the LSI SAS1064E
controller ASIC’s advanced Fusion-MPT™ architecture.
While other SAS cards drive large RAID software
stacks between the host CPU and controller, the
LSISAS3041E-R HBA utilizes the embedded CPU
in the LSISAS1064E ASIC to perform integrated
RAID 0, 1, 1E and 10E operations. By avoiding
the PCI-X bus traffic and reducing RAID code
overhead, the LSISAS3041E-R is first in READ/
WRITE operation execution.
PCI Express and SAS Connectivity
from the Serial IO Experts
The LSISAS3442E-R is a part of the first generation
of fully serialized Direct Attached Storage (DAS)
controllers. Successful implementation of these
serial adapters is best served with supplier
experience and knowhow. Having a supplier
who fully understands the physical, electrical and
protocol requirements of each new serial standard
will reduce the time for system bring-up and offer
greater flexibility in system topography.
LSI has supplied leading edge serial technology
to systems throughout the world for over 6
generations, making LSI the most experienced
enabler of serial interconnect for storage in the
world. Integrators can be assured that their LSI
adapter is providing the most advanced and robust
serial technology available.
Operating System Support
The LSISAS3041E-R HBA supports all key 32-bit
and 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows, Linux,
Solaris, Netware as well as the x86, IA64, SPARC,
AMD64 and EM64T system architectures. All
OS drivers are backed by extensive testing and
validation to ensure optimum system performance.
