SAS 9280-8e / MegaRAID SAS 9280DE-8e

Eight-Port 6Gb/s PCI Express SATA and SAS RAID Controller

Protect Business Critical Data with the Industry’s Most Trusted SATA+SAS

RAID Controllers

Next-Generation SATA+SAS RAID for

External Enclosures

Today’s newest external enclosure designs are based on architectures that support both

SATA and SAS drives. The MegaRAID SAS

9280-8e and 9280DE-8e, with eight external

SATA+SAS ports, are ideal for configuring these external enclosures with your choice of highperformance SAS hard drives, high-capacity

SATA hard drives or power-saving solid state drives (SSDs). With data transfer rates of up to

6Gb/s per port, the MegaRAID SAS 9280-8e and 9280DE-8e bring users new features and improved performance, while continuing to support all the features of the previous 3Gb/s

SATA+SAS generation. These feature line controllers employ the latest in RAID-on-

Chip technology, comply with the PCI

Express 2.0 specification and provide additional data security using LSI™ SafeStore encryption services.

SAS topologies using Expander Self-discovery/

Self-configuration, and additional safeguards to enhance data protection.

LSI SafeStore Encryption Services

LSI is pleased to offer SafeStore encryption services, which offer instant secure erase and local key management* for self-encrypting drives

(SEDs). This technology represents a significant step forward in securing a drive’s data from any unauthorized access or modification resulting from theft, loss, or repurposing of drives.

Instant secure erase cryptographically erases an SED, whether it is 73GB or 1TB, in less than a second. This allows for secure drive returns or reuse. SafeStore local key management provides the necessary management and protection of

SEDs using a simple pass phrase, security key identifier, and security key file, which can be set and applied to all SEDs assigned to a MegaRAID adapter. 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.

6Gb/s SAS Performance Advantage

6Gb/s SAS is designed for backward compatibility 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 significant performance improvements in both read and write applications as compared to their 3Gb/s predecessors.

Other new features to the 6Gb/s MegaRAID

SATA+SAS controllers include greater signal integrity using Decision Feedback

Equalization, support for more sophisticated LSI MegaRAID SAS 9280-8e

*local key management is supported only with the 9280DE-8e

Intuitive RAID Management Utility

The MegaRAID Management Suite™ provides the essential software tools to efficiently manage MegaRAID products, whether deployed in an enterprise or small business. LSI offers a collection of applications and tools including a pre-boot setup utility and a full spectrum of online RAID management utilities. This suite of applications allow administrators to adjust SAS topology views from the system host, controller and disk enclosure down to the logical and physical drive level. Extending to enterprise deployments, these tools scale to easily configure, monitor and manage RAID volumes locally or over the LAN network.
