Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What are the advantages of the LSI SAS 3108 chip in the MegaRAID 9361-8i?
The LSI SAS 3108 is a high-reliability dual-core RAID-on-Chip (ROC) platform. It processes complex array configurations (like RAID 5 and RAID 6 parity metrics) completely on the card, preventing bottlenecks and preserving host server CPU threads for critical virtualization workloads.
Q2: Which cable type is required for attaching storage arrays to this controller card?
The MegaRAID 9361-8i incorporates 2 internal Mini-SAS HD SFF-8643 connector geometries. System architects should deploy high-quality SFF-8643 compliant multi-lane cabling sets to bridge links safely with 12Gb/s SAS or 6Gb/s SATA drive backplanes.
Q3: Can this hardware controller card manage a mixture of both SAS and SATA drives?
Yes. The controller has dual-protocol support enabling a mixture of standard multi-lane 12Gb/s SAS assets and 6Gb/s SATA solid-state or hard drives. It gives storage infrastructure layout designers extreme scalability up to a maximum threshold of 128 connected drives via SAS expanders.
Q4: How does the optional CacheVault flash protection protect cached system log profiles?
CacheVault technology utilizes flash-based memory and highly responsive capacitor elements to automatically mirror data sitting in the DDR3 SDRAM cache block to persistent non-volatile flash space during severe power fluctuations, guaranteeing 100% data integrity without reliance on traditional backup batteries.
Q5: Will installing this card require server firmware alignment or warnings?
No. Our premium compatible server storage modules come pre-loaded with highly compliant firmware configurations fully matching universal enterprise cross-platform operating limits. Enterprise architecture environments can instantly slide the card into standard PCIe 3.0 x8 slots for quick plug-and-play network synchronization.

Scale Smarter. Minimize Infrastructure Footprints.

By deploying premium multi-vendor compatible RAID storage controller controllers, datacenter operators can optimize overall hardware capital expenditures without compromising link safety or storage reliability. Keep enterprise data switching fabrics running at peak scale with elite enterprise infrastructure engineering.
