Introduction
As
the first-to-market eight-port Serial Attached SCSI
RAID solution, the MegaRAID SAS 8408E offers advanced
fault tolerant features for SAS drives, SATA II
drives, or any combination of the two. Using a high-performance
Intel I/O processor for optimum RAID performance
and a PCI Express host interface for increased bandwidth,
the MegaRAID SAS 8408E delivers an intelligent and
robust RAID solution. In addition, this adapter
supports 256MB DDRII SDRAM for data caching and
an intelligent transportable battery backup (iTBBU)
that protects cached data for up to 72 hours in
the event of a complete power failure. The transportable
cache module can even be moved to a new MegaRAID
adapter with complete data retention.
